互联网名称与数字地址分配机构（ICANN）已公布新通用顶级域名（GTLD）的申请方。正如《The》在八月报道的那样，这是ICANN第二次接受GTLD申请，例如“.com”或“.net”这样的字符串。多年来，只有ICANN能够创建和运营GTLD。该治理机构改变了这一政策，并在2012年批准了超过1200个新的GTLD。该组织决定今年重复这一流程，并于周三宣布收到了1615份申请。
ICANN has revealed the applicants for new generic top-level domains (GTLDs). As The reported in August, this is just the second time ICANN has accepted applications for GTLDs, strings like “.com” or “.net”. For years, only ICANN could create and operate GTLDs. The governance body changed that policy and in 2012 allowed over 1,200 new GTLDs. The organization decided to repeat the process this year and on Wednesday announced it received 1,615 applications.
目前，一个确认这些申请可行性的流程正在进行中。ICANN已将所有申请的信息以可搜索的形式在此提供，并附带了一份可下载的列表。《The》仔细研究了该列表，为您带来以下申请新闻。
A process is now under way to confirm those applications are viable. ICANN has made information about all of the applications available in a searchable form here along with a downloadable list that The has pored over to bring you news of the following applications.
OpenAI希望获得15个GTLD，其中包括.chatgpt和.agi——后者很可能是“通用人工智能”（Artificial General Intelligence）的缩写。另有六家实体也申请了该字符串。这家AI初创公司还申请了.mcp，这可能指的是开源的模型上下文协议（Model Context Protocol）。谷歌也对该GTLD进行了竞标，另有三家实体同样如此。谷歌通过其子公司查尔斯顿路注册局（Charleston Road Registry），正与其他七家实体争夺.api域名。谷歌已申请了30多个新名称，其中大多数与其产品相关。
OpenAI wants 15 GTLDs, among them .chatgpt and .agi – the latter likely the acronym for artificial general intelligence. Six other entities also want that string. The AI upstart also wants .mcp, which probably refers to the open source Model Context Protocol. Google bid for this GTLD, too, as have three other entities. The Big G, through its subsidiary Charleston Road Registry, is in an eight-way tussle to score .api. It has applied for over 30 new names, most pertaining to its products.
Anthropic仅申请了其自身名称和.claude。微软是另一家仅希望获得两个名称的实体：.copilot和.msft。Meta必须与另一家竞争者争夺.superintelligence的控制权，但它是唯一试图申请.wearables的实体。13家实体希望获得.agent域名，Meta和谷歌均在竞争者之列。Salesforce希望获得其自身名称，以及.force、.slack和.tableau。
Anthropic wants only its own name and .claude. Microsoft is another that hopes for just a pair of names: .copilot and .msft. Meta will have to fight another contender to control .superintelligence, but is the only entity trying to claim .wearables. 13 entities hope to claim .agent, with Meta and Google among the contenders. Salesforce wants its own name, plus .force, .slack, and .tableau.
一家名为Fomalhaut Exploration的公司申请了.intel。这可能是“芯片巨头”英特尔通过第三方进行的行动，也可能是一场法律纠纷的开始。三家竞争者希望成为.drone域名的所有者，而九家实体正在争夺.brand域名。十家申请者希望建立自己的.hub域名，而两家则希望将GTLD拓展至.mars。
An outfit named Fomalhaut Exploration wants .intel. That could be Chipzilla acting through a third party, or the beginning of a legal tussle. Three contenders want to be the home of .drone, while nine are fighting over .brand. Ten applicants want to build their own .hub, while two hope to take GTLDs to .mars.
七家运营商希望运营 .official 域名——这类域名通常会被品牌方出于防御性目的购买，以确保在某个别有用心的人抢注该名称之前，先获得 [companyname].official。北美地区是大多数申请人的所在地，共有 864 家；其次是欧洲的 506 家、亚太地区的 218 家、非洲的 16 家，以及拉丁美洲和加勒比地区的仅 11 家。
Seven operators hope to run .official, the kind of domain that brands buy defensively so they end up with [companyname].official before someone cynical nabs the name. North America was home to most applicants – 864 – followed by 506 Europeans, 218 from Asia Pacific, 16 from Africa, and just 11 from Latin America and the Caribbean.
当多个方申请同一个通用顶级域名（GTLD）时，ICANN 会首先采用“社区优先评估”流程，试图确定该域名字符串最合适的归属方。如果该流程未能成功，则 GTLD 的注册权将通过拍卖决定。所有申请必须在 11 月 17 日（即“字符串确认日”）前完成审批，之后成功申请者便可开始为其新的 GTLD 建立注册机构的工作。读者很可能在明年就能使用这些新 GTLD 注册的域名。®
When multiple parties apply for the same GTLD, ICANN first applies a “community priority evaluation” process that tries to find the most appropriate home for a string. If that fails, rights to the GTLD go to auction. All applications must be decided by November 17, aka String Confirmation Day, after which successful applicants can start the work to establish a registry for their new GTLDs. Readers will likely be able to domains using the new GTLDs next year. ®
