The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers has posted "responses to a selection of the questions received concerning" its new Request for Proposals for sponsored Top-Level Domains. ICANN has not approved any new TLDs since November 2000, when it gave its blessing to 7 top-level domains, including .info, .pro and .museum. The deadline for applications is March 15 2004.
