ICANN’s latest updates indicate that three new gTLD applications have completed either Initial or Extended Evaluation last week. A French insurance company, MMA IARD, made it through Initial Evaluation for .MMA brand extension. Boston Consulting Group, after failing the Initial Evaluation due to insufficient financial statements finally passed Extended Evaluation on dot-brand TLD .BCG.
Moreover I-REGISTRY’s application for .ONLINE will now go through the contention phase among the other applicants for this new gTLD.
