ICANN new gTLD Prioritization Lottery Draw – General Information
Some quick information regarding the ICANN new gTLD Prioritization Lottery Draw, which happens shortly:
- 1766 tickets were sold, 92% of applications (1920 total)
- First draw is for IDN applicants (108 out of 116 applications purchased tickets)
- Second draw for non-IDN applicants
- Third draw for the remainder of applications that did not purchase a ticket (142)
The proceeds of $176,600 for the ticket sales will go to the following three charities:
- Kiva Microfunds
- Invenio
- Wikimedia Foundation
The draw has not yet commenced, apparently due to a “power outage”. Official reason is a “glitch”. For a while it appears that the audio of one of the remote participants was audible through the stream.
