The body behind the world's internet domains want to create something entirely new — and not for what you'd think

ICANN has proposed the creation of a new top-level domain (TLD) called .internal for private use within enterprises and device vendors. The move aims to enhance the security and stability of the global domain name system (DNS). ICANN, however, acknowledges that the .internal TLD might be confused for .int, a TLD reserved for intergovernmental treaty organizations. The organization is seeking community feedback before approving the creation of .internal. Operators using private namespaces like .internal should also consider the associated costs. The controlled TLDs could provide more controlled spaces for internal communication, services, and resources.
