Community gTLD Change Requests
Please note that the English language version of all translated content and documents are the official versions and that translations in other languages are for informational purposes only.
The Procedure for Community gTLD Change Requests permits a Community gTLD Registry Operator to seek approval from ICANN to modify the Community Registration Policies enumerated in Specification 12 of its Registry Agreement.
Per the guidelines of the procedure, the registry operator may not seek changes that would remove the Community Registration Policies, excessively broaden or narrow registrant eligibility and/or name selection requirements, or result in significant negative impact to the TLD Community. The ICANN org will notify the registry operator if the change request falls outside of these guidelines. Any change request outside of these guidelines will not be considered.
Eligibility
Changes under this service may only be requested by the registry operator of a Community gTLD. A Community gTLD is:
- A gTLD that has a Registry Agreement that includes Specification 12 and
- The section title of its Specification 12 is "Community Registration Policies" or "TLD Policies."
