PIR opens pre-registration for dot-ngo
The Public Interest Registry has opened pre-registration for dot-ngo domains, encouraging non-profits and non-governmental organizations to indicate early interest in the registry.
Registration is through a simple online form and does not represent a commitment to purchase a domain (PIR is calling the process an "expression of interest"), but it will mean that organizations receive useful information and updates as the application progresses through to approval.
PIR's Chief Operating Officer Nancy Gofus explained to .Nxt that PIR expects dot-ngo domains (as well as the French version, dot-ong) to go live in early 2014 but that she wanted to reach out to the non-profit community early and "inform them of the steps they can take now".
General Motors dumps gTLDs
General Motors has pulled out of the new gTLD program at a cost of $275,000.
A recent update of ICANN's application database shows that the US motor manufacturer has withdrawn its bids for dot-Cadillac and dot-Chevrolet – representing its two most famous brands – as well as dot-GMC. Two remaining applications – for dot-Buick and dot-Chevy – are expected to be confirmed as having been withdrawn within days.
Under the rules of the program, the company is entitled to reclaim 70 percent of the $185,000 application fee, representing a cost of $55,000 per application, or $275,000 overall. In addition, the company hired brand protection company CSC to shepherd its bids through.

ICANN names date for first new gTLDs
ICANN has named 23 April as the date when the organization will formally approve the first of thousands of new Internet extensions.
Speaking in a pre-recorded interview, CEO Fadi Chehade said that the organization had made “great progress in the last few weeks” and so was confident that ICANN would be able to “recommend for delegation” the first of over 1,900 applications, just a few weeks after its upcoming meeting in Beijing.
The announcement of a specific date – even if Chehade is careful to point out that it may slip depending on factors outside his control – is a positive sign for the program which has been beset with delays since it was first conceived in 2005.
The “applicant guidebook” for the program was first published in 2008 and is currently in its ninth revision, with significant changes put forward by ICANN just this month.

ICANN gambles on public interest contract add-on
Only small number of new gTLD applicants will consider rushed process
ICANN has attempted to answer concerns that new gTLD applicants may renege on public commitments with a last-minute contractual add-on.
Following a special Board meeting last weekend, the organization's COO this week outlined plans for a "public interest commitment" that would see applicants voluntarily agree to make aspects of their application binding.
ICANN subsequently published for public comment a revised version of its contract, complete with a new Specification 11. Within that specification, applicants can either list which parts of their application they wish to be considered binding - and so tied in with third-party dispute resolution complete with the risk of losing their rights to run the registry - or add additional information regarding existing commitments.
