ICANN Releases Beta-3 Version of TLD Verification Code - 22 March 2007
ICANN has issued today a new version of code intended to assist software developers and application providers whose work assists others in using the DNS.
ICANN Releases Beta TLD Verification Tool - 3 December 2006
Today ICANN released a beta version Top-Level Domain (TLD) Verification Tool. This verification tool has been developed in response to problems reported by gTLD registries and end-users of the non-acceptance of some existing TLDs. These problems occur in some current applications because: 1) they do not recognize any TLD of more than three characters; or, 2) they rely on legacy information where only com/net/org and a handful of ccTLDs are recognized as valid.
ICANN Creates Area on Universal Acceptance of TLDs - 20 March 2006
In order for the full resources of the Internet to be available to all users globally, service and application providers must make use of the complete range of top-level domains (TLDs). To promote accessibility of up-to-date TLD information, ICANN is making available a new page of resources related to this topic.
