 Top-level domains
Domain name registries around the world is a highly comprehensive list of TLD registries maintained by the.NO domain registry.
In the end, ICANN obtained control of the top level domains, replacing IANA with a body that is somewhat more open to outside input (if you are a government or represent large business).
One proposal to regulate other registries at the top level was originally formalised as the gTLD-MoU.

 Implementation of the.eu Top Level Domain
Public query services associated with the TLD are referred to as "Who is" queries.
The connection and presence permitted by the allocation of domain names and the related addresses allow users to locate computers and websites on the Web.
TLDs are also an integral part of every Internet e-mail address.

Or test or example code might be written that accesses a TLD that is in use with the thought that the test code would only be run in a restricted testbed net or the example never actually run.
In addition, a few second level domain names reserved for use as examples are documented.
Depending on the nature of the test or example, it might be best for it to be referencing a TLD permanently reserved for such purposes.

 gTLD-MoU
The Generic Top Level Domain Memorandum of Understanding (gTLD-MoU) is the international governance framework in which policies for the administration and enhancement of the Internet's global Domain Name System (DNS) are developed and deployed.
We only selected seven as an initial number since given that the DNS is critical to the operation of the Internet, we thought it prudent to define initial changes on a relatively modest scale, with later evaluation and modification as appropriate.
The intellectual property community was especially adamant that the viability of the dispute resolution processes being implemented under the gTLD-MoU be demonstrated before further expansion of the top level domain space.

 New top level domains considered harmful - Design Issues
However, the domain name is perhaps the worst possible way of communicating information about the device.
And because the DNS tree is so fundamental to the Internet applications which build on top of it, any uncertainty about the future creates immediately instability and harm.
There are costs in general to creating any new top level domain.

 On the Net: The Top-Level Domain Game
Depending on the way in which the new TLDs are adopted and used, as well as how long it takes for a sufficient quantity of sites to start using them, the way in which we guess URLs may change.
And those top-level domains (TLDs) would have made sense in all languages and been able to classify all Internet sites.
In addition, the vast commercial space could perhaps be subdivided into more categories to make the allocation of names more related to the function of the organization as well.

 Top Level Domain Searches Revisited
Using the site operator with a top level domain name is very useful for doing things like finding official information in government sites and finding research papers in educational sites.
But you can also use it to search just with the top level domain by using the top level domain (without a period in front) as the operator value.
With so many domains in our future, it could come in handy to limit the search to specific top level domains.

 CaveBear Blog: Top Level Domain Follies
It is high time for ICANN to move forward on new Top Level Domains - and not merely of the kind that, even in the absence of real tests, have shown little, if any, evidence of cognizable benefit to the community of internet users.
ICANN's TLD "test bed" has little value except as a body of anecdotal data.
ICANN's data gathering, even when it was performed, was mainly of business information that has no apparent relationship to the stability of the internet's domain name system.

 Top-level domain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A full list of currently existing TLDs can be found at the list of Internet top-level domains.
Most of these networks have long since ceased to exist, and although UUCP still gets significant use in parts of the world where Internet infrastructure has not yet become well-established, it subsequently transitioned to using Internet domain names, so pseudo-domains now largely survive as historical relics.

 PFIR Statement on Top-Level Domain "Ghettoization" Proposals
It does not address various attempts by some entities to establish their own top-level domains outside of the generally accepted domain structure, since such unsanctioned domains are not (and are unlikely in the near future to become) accessible by the majority of Internet users, and appear to mainly add confusion to an already complex environment.
In order to implement a ghettoized-domain system, you would of course need to determine what sorts of sites would be required, permitted, encouraged, or pressured to be in each such restricted domain.
This could lead to such "leakiness" of the categorization system as to render it practically meaningless as a control mechanism -- it could be easily subverted, contaminated, and circumvented.

Alternatively, a lower level domain (such as.us.kids) could be established without the need for ICANN to take action.

Four of the new TLDs (.biz,.info,.name, and.pro) are unsponsored.
Each TLD includes many second-level domains (such as "icann" in "www.icann.org"); each second-level domain can include a number of third-level domains ("www" in "www.icann.org"), and so on.
