Today the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers [ICANN] officially opened the 2026 New gTLD application window.

This is a rare opportunity to define a category, control your digital identity, and build a long-term platform on the internet.

But here’s the reality
Most TLDs don’t fail at launch. They fail at adoption.

Success comes down to strategy, positioning, and ex*****on over time.

We’ve spent nearly 30 years building and operating globally recognized TLDs like .FM. That experience matters more than ever in this round.

Before you apply, take a step back and make sure you’re making the right decisions from day one.

BRS Media Submits Formal Notice to ICANN Chair on CPE Policy Integrity and Next Round Protections.

In the letter, BRS Media details a recurring pattern in which applicants secure priority status by presenting narrowly defined community-based registration policies, only to later seek removal or weakening of those restrictions after delegation. The company asserts that this practice effectively converts community-based top-level domains into unrestricted commercial registries, contrary to the intent of the CPE framework.

In its communication to the Board Chair, BRS Media calls for immediate safeguards, including:

- Mandate and strictly enforce community-based registration commitments as binding obligations, with clearly defined sunset provisions to prevent post-delegation dilution or removal.
- Formal review of any post-delegation policy changes.
- Compliance mechanisms, including potential penalties for non-adherence.
- Increased transparency and ongoing reporting requirements.

BRS Media urges ICANN and its Board to address these concerns prior to the opening of the 2026 round to ensure fairness, accountability, and trust in the program.

BRS Media Inc. today announced that it has submitted a formal notice to Tripti Sinha, Chair of the Board of Directors of ICANN (Internet Corporation for
