New gTLD Program: Updated Applicant Guidebook Available
4 June 2012

ICANN has issued today a new version of the gTLD Applicant 
Guidebook<http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb>. The Applicant Guidebook 
describes the requirements and procedures for submitting applications for new 
generic top-level domains (gTLDs), as well as the criteria and procedures for 
evaluation. See http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about for more information about 
the New gTLD Program.

The application submission period is now closed, and changes have not been made 
to the application process. However, in anticipation of the opening of the 
objection filing period, the relevant information has been updated in the 
Guidebook.

A summary of the changes can be found at 
http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/applicants/agb/summary-changes-applicant-guidebook-04jun12-en.pdf
 [PDF, 121 KB]. The summary provides the text revisions in redline, as well as 
a description and rationale for the changes.
