ICANN Board withdraws EOI The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has today withdrawn the Expression of interest for proposals for entities interested in applying for new gTLDs. The expression of interest was published last December for public consideration and was one of the substantive agendas in the Nairobi meeting. The EOI required entities interested in participating in the first round of the new gTLD Program to submit basic information about the participating entity and the requested top-level domain, also referred to as “string”.
