How to participate?
This public comment page exists to collect your input on the Draft Applicant Guidebook, Version 4 and the related supporting documentation.
The Draft Applicant Guidebook, Version 4 is available here in its entirety as well as in the six individual modules. You can either comment on the overall guidebook or comment per module, by area of interest. Also, with each module's discussion area, you will find a list of documents that serve as explanatory memoranda or reports specific to that particular topic. This series of supporting documents are designed to supplement understanding of the implementation work for the program. A red-lined, annotated version of the documents is provided to facilitate understanding of the changes that were made in progressing from Draft Applicant Guidebook, Version 3 to Version 4.
The current public comment period will last for at least fifty-two (52) days. As the materials become available in additional languages there will be an opportunity to comment.
Important! See below more materials for public comment, such as the proposed new gTLD Program Budget. Also view the Summaries & Analyses from recently closed public fora.
All materials are in draft form for public comment and review. Your comments will help toward the release of the final Applicant Guidebook and the launch of the New gTLD program. Since these are not the final documents, applicants should not rely on the details contained therein since they remain subject to further revision.
ICANN expects to engage in a productive and robust dialogue with the Internet community throughout this consultative process.
