The decision to allow custom top-level domains will be a "nightmare" for brand managers, analysts and lawyers have warned.
Australia is lagging behind the rest of the world in the rush to register with the new global top level domain (gTLD) .info.
The new Internet top level domains came a step closer to reality today when the ICANN board authorised the president and general counsel to complete the negotiation of the remaining appendices to the agreements for the unsponsored top level domains .name, .pro, .biz and .info.
The World Intellectual Property Organisation is preparing itself for a possible flood of complaints over the new .biz and .info domain names.
In the future, Australians may have access to a greater number of domain names, after board of the domain name space regulatory body, auDA, approved a report by its Name Policy Advisory Panel.
