	NEW Top Level Domains What do you have to know !
	1.I've heard there will be seven new top level domains. What are they? 2.Who decided on the new top level domains? 3. Why is there a need for new top domains? 4.When will the new top level domains be available? 5.I want to buy a domain name under one of the new top level domains TODAY! How?

1.	I've heard there will be seven new top level domains. What are they?
	The sever new top domains will be:-
	.biz : general purpose .info : general purpose .name: general purpose .pro : This is a general purpose TLD intended for personal use. .aero : This is a special purpose TLD .coop : This is a special purpose TLD .museum : This is a special purpose TLD
	Finally, if you want to really follow all the changes, arguments and counter-arguments behind the proposals, the Domain Threads section of this site contains extensive coverage of the new top domains.

2.	Who decided on the new top level domains?
	The IAHC, an organization thrown together from various bodies and interest groups related to domain names.

3.	Why is there a need for new top domains?
	Frankly, there isn't. For my detailed analysis of why the proposal is flawed, look at this feature.

4.	When will the new top level domains be available?
	Sometime between soon and never. Earliest projections show the names becoming available around the end of 1997. However, with everyone and their cat coming out against the proposals, the new domains may NEVER see the light of day. ICAAN approved the new domains 07/20/2000

5.	I want to buy a domain name under one of the new top level domains TODAY! How?
	Short answer: you can't. However, you can buy .web names [which may or may not become "legal" -- read the disclaimers carefully!] at webtld.com; several brokers are taking "advanced reservations" on the new top domains, but this is really just so much whistling in the wind since nobody knows what will happen to the proposal.
