August 12, 1999: Following the intervention of the United States
Government in management of Internet names and addresses starting in 1997/1998
conducted through the offices of the United
States Department of Commerce's National
Telecommunication and Information Administration (NTIA), the gTLD-MoU
activities related to revamping management of generic top level domains
have now been jointly assumed by NTIA and a California-based corporation,
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Information
on NTIA activities can be found on their web
pages related to management of Internet names and addresses. Information
on ICANN's activities can be found on their web
pages and those of its Domain Name Supporting
Organization (DNSO).

The gTLD-MoU Policy Oversight Committee continues to monitor progress
in this area and has and continues to participate in international initiatives
related to domain name administration.

However, the Policy Oversight Committee notes that little progress has
been made because of both an extremely complex political environment and
the economic interests of the parties involved in the multi-billion dollar
business of selling domain names. The Policy Oversight Committee also notes
that despite a multi-year effort involving the United States Government
and ICANN, little progress has been made in the core issue - the necessary
economic model for registry/registrar relationships embodied in the Council
of Registrars (CORE) model developed in the Internet
Ad Hoc Committee (IAHC) final
report. The adoption of an equitable competition model is a necessary
prerequisite for introduction of new top level domains. Therefore, those
who are interested in the availability of new top level domains should
not expect any availability in the 1999/2000 2nd quarter time frame and
perhaps much longer.

Welcome to the gTLD-MoU Web Site

The Generic Top Level Domain Memorandum of Understanding (gTLD-MoU)
is the international framework in which policies for the administration
and enhancement of the Internet's generic Domain Name System (DNS) are
developed and deployed. These policies are developed in cooperation with
the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA),
who manages the root of the Domain Name System (DNS) to promote stability
and robustness. For more information about the gTLD-MoU framework and related
activities, see our FAQ.
