<p class="title">May 2011 New gTLD <em>Applicant Guidebook</em></p>
</div>
<p>The <em>Applicant Guidebook</em> is a comprehensive guide for
applicants that describes the New Generic Top-Level Domain program's
requirements and evaluation processes. The <em>Applicant Guidebook</em>
has been developed and improved through extensive public review by
specialized working groups and ICANN's Supporting Organizations and
Advisory Committees. Each draft has been accompanied by extensive
public comment analyses, explanatory memoranda and independent reports.</p>
<p> This version contains updates based on community feedback and the
recent consultations between ICANN's Board of Directors and the
Governmental Advisory Committee (GAC). Building on a three-day meeting
in Brussels and many agreed-upon changes in the <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/topics/new-gtlds/comments-6-en.htm">15 April Draft of the Guidebook</a>, the collaborative GAC-Board work has continued.</p>
<p> Most recently, designated representatives of the Board and the GAC
held teleconferences to discuss trademark protections and objection
procedures for governments. The full Board and GAC met in
teleconference on 20 May, and the GAC provided written comments on 26
May. Several additional changes have been made based on this latest
round of meetings and there were several additional areas of
compromise. The Board and GAC agreed to hold another meeting in
Singapore on 19 June.</p>
<p> The <em>Applicant Guidebook</em> is intended to be a comprehensive
guide and will be regularly updated as aspects of the process are
implemented. The Board will listen to community dialogue at the ICANN
public meeting in Singapore, and will continue to solicit comments on
specific areas.</p>
<p> Below you will find the <em>Applicant Guidebook</em> (in "clean"
and "redline" versions), explanatory memoranda on various relevant
issues, and the summary and analysis of public comments on the prior <em>Discussion Draft of the Applicant Guidebook</em>.</p>
<h3>What's next?</h3>
<p>The Board of Directors will consider approval of the New gTLD
Program at an extraordinary meeting on Monday, 20 June 2011, during
ICANN’s international meeting in Singapore.</p>
