EACH GTLD HAS A DESIGNATED "REGISTRY OPERATOR" AND, IN MOST CASES (EXCEPT FOR A FEW LEGACY TLDS), A REGISTRY AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE OPERATOR (OR SPONSOR) AND ICANN. THE REGISTRY OPERATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TECHNICAL OPERATION OF THE GTLD, INCLUDING ALL OF THE NAMES REGISTERED IN THAT TLD. OVER 2,000 ICANN ACCREDITED REGISTRARS INTERACT WITH REGISTRANTS (AND OTHERS) TO PERFORM DOMAIN NAME REGISTRATION AND OTHER RELATED SERVICES FOR NEW GTLDS. THE NEW GTLD PROGRAM HAS PROVIDED A MEANS FOR PROSPECTIVE REGISTRY OPERATORS TO APPLY FOR NEW GTLDS, AND CREATE NEW OPTIONS FOR CONSUMERS.

EVERY NEW REGISTRY MUST DEMONSTRATE THAT IT HAS ESTABLISHED OPERATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TECHNICAL AND OPERATIONAL CRITERIA DESCRIBED IN THE APPLICANT GUIDEBOOK. AFTER PASSING PDT, A REGISTRY'S GTLD CAN BE INTRODUCED INTO THE ROOT ZONE OF THE INTERNET. AS OF JUNE 30, 2015, 680 NEW GTLDS WERE DELEGATED IN THE ROOT ZONE.
