Hello.

IANA continues to receive applications for, and inquiries about, new
generic TLDs. Given the ongoing discussions about the creation of a
new Internet organization that are taking place throughout the
Internet community, as recommended in the U.S. Government's white
paper on "Management of Internet Names and Addresses", no new generic
TLDs will be established at this time. The process and
criteria for adding domains will almost certainly fall within the
responsibility of the new organization. Please be patient as IANA and
the Internet evolve in this transitional period, and the Internet
community works towards consensus in establishing this new
organization. 

We encourage you to participate publicly concerning this issue and
other issues involved with Internet governance through our
"comments" mailbox.  All mail received at this mailbox about these
issues is posted on this web site under "Public Comments". 

Public comments may be sent to comments@iana.org. 

Thanks.

IANA
