More delays for new gTLDs?
I have learned that although the final version of the new gTLD DAG had been scheduled for release in May 2009, this now seems unlikely. Instead, a 3rd draft would be published prior to the 2nd ICANN meeting of the year, scheduled for Sydney at the end of the June.

Question ICANN's chairman on the web!
For its upcoming meeting in Mexico, ICANN is making sure there's plenty of opportunity for people to participate. Not only will there be more public forum time than at any meeting since Vancouver 2005, with at least one session being moderated by ICANN chair Peter Dengate Thrush, but a new online "question box" has also been opened to allow people to ask questions remotely at those sessions.

Holland's innovative take on local presence
Country code TLDs often have some kind of local presence requirement. To be eligible for a .FR domain for example, you need an address in France. Local presence rules may be seen by some as an unnecessary hurdle but on the other hand, is it really that unreasonable to expect that a country's TLD be truly representative of that country?

Crisis or no crisis for domain names?
There's no real suspense here: yes domain names are also being hit by the current economic downturn. Aftermarket domain sale volumes may not be falling too much, but transaction values are certainly down as sellers adapt to the end of the "anything sells (even a dud domain)" era by dropping their prices.

ICANN may review new TLD fees
Last Monday ICANN held a new gTLD Q&A session hosted by the GNSO Council. The subject of ICANN's proposed fee structure for initial evaluation and annual registry fees was once again at the centre of much of the discussions, during which it transpired that said fees may well be revised in the forthcoming second draft applicant guidebook (DAG), due out in February 2009.
