.pk (Pakistan) tentative availability

It is likely the Pakistan registry will make 2nd-level .pk domains available in the coming months. General availability is likely to be preceded by a sunrise period for trademark holders. More information will follow as soon as we have it. 



.vn (Vietnamese) release now scheduled for June

It is now thought that .vn domains will be made available in June of this year. An additional public sunrise period is scheduled for mid-April, ahead of the general release.



ICANN news

ICANN have announced that Telcordia Technologies, the company chosen to evaluate the applicants for management of the .net domain from July of this year, will post their final report and rankings on the ICANN.org website on 28th March. They also intend to post a revised version of their three year Strategic Plan, incorporating feedback from the recently completed public comment forum, on the same date.
