ICANN Solicits Candidates to Develop Request for Proposals for New gTLDs

6 September 2007

ICANN is posting this statement of work as part of its anticipated 
program for delegation of new generic top-level domains. ICANN is 
seeking to engage a provider to develop in detail important portions of 
the new gTLD evaluation process. That is, the selected provider will 
develop the new gTLD request for proposals (RFP) process and document. 
This will become the process that applicants for new gTLDs will follow 
and that will describe the evaluation process of those applications.

The statement of work may be viewed here.

Candidate providers are requested to:

     * submit a statement of interest by 21 September 2007,
     * submit a proposal no later than 8 October 2007 that is responsive 
to the statement of work and includes proposed scope, schedule and 
pricing terms.

Statements of interest and proposals should be submitted via email to 
Craig Schwartz at rfpgtlds at icann.org. Statements of interest and 
proposals will be acknowledged by return email.

ICANN will post answers to questions received regarding the statement of 
work through 28 September 2007, at 
http://www.icann.org/tlds/new-gtld-sow-questions-06sep07.htm.
