"Global Innovation Contest for New TLD Ideas" represents first-of-its-kind competition for defining new domain concepts

As organizations consider whether or not to invest in new TLDs under the forthcoming ICANN New TLD program, they may not consider all the possibilities for new TLDs. The "Afilias Global Innovation Contest for New TLD Ideas" is designed to address that issue.
