ICANN makes plans for new domains
17 December, 2002
More sponsored top-level domain names are coming to the internet, but it is unclear how many and how soon, the organisation that manages the internet's domain name space said Sunday.
The board of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers unanimously approved here on Sunday a proposal to add "a limited number" of sponsored TLDs to the seven new domains selected as a "proof of concept" two years ago.
Sponsored domains are created for specific community groups, unlike generic domains such as ".com." Existing sponsored domains include ".museum" and ".coop," which are meant for use by museums and cooperative organisations.
