On June 13 2012 the body that manages the development of the internet, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), will reveal details of the biggest change to the structure of the internet since its creation.
ICANN will reveal some of the near 2,000 possible new Generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) companies and interested parties want to register. Top Level Domains are the two to three characters at the end of each website address, such as .com, .co, .xxx, and .co.uk. With the new gTLDs ICANN will expand this list of about 300 existing domain name extensions to allow almost any word or collection of characters to become a website address.
