what are the new tlds?

Hello everyone,
I just heard that there are more tlds coming out. like .directory .design .store ... etc

What are these tlds? or does any one can get whatever he wants.
for example . blah !

more explanation about this tlds would really be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Has anyone come across any issues yet with these new TLDs?


I work a bit on support on a prestigious holiday site and there is a quite extensive enquiry and brochure forms.

Some one attempted to request a brochure using a **@**.aero email TLD, but a standard, jQuery form validator library rejected it.
 
Why do the majority of these TLDs have a status of "TBD"?

What is a draw number?

Example, take a look at http://www.enom.com/domains/accountants-domain-registration

TBD is To Be Done. This means people demand it but ICANN has not accepted it yet. Draw number means approximate number of this .TLD in acceptance list. New TLDs are published in batches approximately 500 per year or two, meaning this particular example is most likely to become available in 3-6 years.

For more details - feel free to visit ICANN site

Visit namecheap.com to know the latest TLD, I registered a dot pw domain as a new TLD and it means Professional Web.

I have to agree with RH-Calvin The .com will in my opinion always be on top no matter how many new tld's become available. Some tld's are just pointless to have and the only business' that may register them are trademarked and governments. and the cost for them is astounding.
