FAQ #1: How can I register a name in one of the new top-level domains (TLDs) right now?
No companies have been accredited yet to register names in any of the new TLDs. Registration procedures have not yet been formalized, and there is no guarantee that any particular organization will be authorized to take registrations for any particular TLD. Registration will be done on a fair basis. Please monitor the ICANN website for further developments.
FAQ #2: Can I "pre-register" names in the new TLDs?
No one has been authorized to "pre-register" domain names in the new TLDs. Persons who attempt to "pre-register" such domain names do so at their own risk and with no assurance that they will receive the pre-registered names once the TLDs become operational. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently issued a consumer alert warning about "scam artists" offering services along these lines. Among other recommendations, the FTC advised consumers to protect themselves by "[a]voiding any domain name pre-registration service that asks for up-front fees, guarantees particular top level domain names or preferential treatment in the assignment of new top level domain names." Please refer to the FTC's alert for additional information.
