2025: A Crucial Year for Enterprises to Apply for Top - Level Domains
Since the birth of the Internet, there has only been one open application for top - level domains. For this round of applications, ICANN has decided to adopt an auction mechanism to resolve competition issues for the same top - level domain names. It also prohibits any form of private settlement in the next round and the establishment of joint ventures after submitting applications. This means that enterprises need to conduct early investigations to check for enterprises with the same or similar names and formulate relevant strategies and contingency plans.

Enterprises need to pay close attention to the continuously updated policy information in the ICANN conferences in 2025.

About ICANN
"ICANN", short for the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, is a non - profit international organization founded in October 1998. It is responsible for coordinating the global Internet unique identifier system and its secure and stable operation, including the allocation of Internet Protocol (IP) address spaces, the assignment of protocol identifiers, the management of generic top - level domains (gTLDs) and country - code top - level domains (ccTLDs) systems, as well as the management of the root server system.

As a promoter of the global Internet community, ICANN plays a significant role in the management of global domain names and IP addresses. Just as ICANN's slogan goes, "One World, One Internet", the borderless nature of the Internet has broken geographical limitations. This conference also echoes this theme, allowing those concerned about the domain name industry to discuss the development of the domain name industry from anywhere in the world.
