**I attended an interesting meeting last week, along with folks from a few other
charities and nonprofit-related organisations, to hear about the plans in place 
to introduce new Internet Top Level Domains (TLDs) to add to those you’ll already
know – like .com, .org, etc – and in particular to discuss what benefit might come
from introducing a new nonprofit-only community TLD.**

If you haven’t heard about this significant forthcoming change to the way Internet
addressing works, don’t worry – you’re not alone. While it has been discussed for
many years now, it is only relatively recently that the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which co-ordinates the Internet’s naming and
numbering system, announced a timeline for the use of new TLDs – with applications
starting in 2010.
