Are Domainers Concerned by New gTLDs?
I would be tempted to say that it is an obvious strategy for a domainer to criticize new gTLDs (in order to protect their existing investment), but if one of the most successful domainers of all time doesn’t talk about them in a negative fashion, you’d better listen. When you are confident that you can acquire a good domain name in such a vast and expanding market, why would you talk about it? Why on earth would you let anybody know about your plans?

d) That by Decision PCC.I/DEC.96 (XV-09), the CITEL Secretariat is instructed to initiate conversations with the Chair of the Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC) of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) so that CITEL be granted membership as observer to such Committee;

Where Do You Register New Domain Names?
Most users who already use websites have heard about domain names and they know what they are. Although .COM domains are already very popular, they are no longer as appealing as they once were, because they don't mean anything as such and all of the cool, short names have long since been registered. In 2014, this will change with the emerging new domain names. I like to think that it is possible that, with the increased communications that exists around new gTLD and the fact that many of these new domain names actually mean something, people will start paying more attention. For example, I like the idea of a www.discovery.science , but I doubt I will ever click on a discoveryscience.com.

Nom de domaine : vive la “.SCIENCE” !
La Communauté scientifique n’a qu’à bien se tenir car elle se verra prochainement offrir un “univers” pour communiquer sur Internet: des noms de domaine qui se terminent en .SCIENCE.
Déjà très utilisés, les noms de domaine .FR qui qualifient les sites Internet Français, et les .COM qui qualifient la majorité des autres sites Internet, le .SCIENCE fait partie de ces nouveaux noms de domaine dont on devrait entendre parler.S’il n’est plus utile de préciser aux lecteurs du JDN que l’ICANN est en train d’autoriser le lancement de plusieurs centaines de nouvelles extensions Internet, il est néanmoins intéressant de s’arrêter sur un certain nombre d’entre elles afin de s’intéresser à leur potentiel.

Quel succès pour les noms de domaine .VOYAGE ?
L’extension .VOYAGE fait partie des premières extensions francophones à voir le jour. Cette nouvelle extension pourrait connaître un intérêt conséquent pour les agences de voyages françaises (suisses, belges et canadiennes) ainsi que toute l’activité touristique qui gravite autour.
Le .TRAVEL, vous connaissiez ?
Pourtant, de nombreuses agences de voyage mettent à disposition de leurs clients une version anglaise de leur site Internet et l’extension prévue pour les contenus de ce type ont une extension Internet dédiée, le .TRAVEL (“voyage” en anglais).Peu de sites Internet de voyages utilisent ces noms de domaine car il est serait peu cohérent pour un site français de communiquer avec un nom de domaine en anglais. Mais est-ce bien la seule raison ?
