How to navigate the gTLD application legal process
Join our webinar on June 23 at 4.00 p.m. CEST / 10 a.m. ET
Applying for a new gTLD? Sign up and learn from an ICANN-approved registry service provider what it takes to launch and operate a successful TLD. We zoom in on the legal considerations.
On April 30, ICANN opened its application period for new generic top-level domains (gTLDs). It will close on August 12, 2026. This is a rare opportunity to secure your own extension and shape a unique namespace on the internet. Whether you’re new to ICANN or exploring the idea of launching a TLD for your brand, community or organization, this webinar will give you the clarity and confidence you need.
You’ll walk away with a better understanding of:
- What the legal responsibilities are as an applicant
- How to prepare for legal choices
- How to interpret the Terms of Service
- How to interact with ICANN and third parties
- What’s new in the second round
- Common pitfalls in gTLD applications from a legal perspective
