+ Study Conducted by Interisle Published on 5
August
+ ICANN Paper based on the Study finding
proposes way forward:
– Classify strings into 3 profiles
– 80% of strings classified as low risk
– 20% of strings (279) require further study
– 2 strings (.corp & .home) classified as high risk, high
impact
Name Collisions Impact in the DNS
![Page 6: New gTLD Program Update - ICANN · New gTLD Program Update 7 August 2013 Christine Willett ICANN, ... –Consistent with SSAC & IAB, Carve found multiple risks that would require](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022021810/5c69ac8a09d3f2310b8b70d3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

+ All applicants are encouraged to review the
announcement
– Low Impact Category (80%) can proceed to delegation
with minimal new requirements and changes to
delegation timeline
– Unclassified Impact Category (20%) require further
study to determine potential risk levels & appropriate
mitigation steps.
+ We anticipate 3-6 months for conclusion
+ High Risk Category (.corp & .home) require significant
mitigation

The timeline is provided for general guidance based on the earliest path forward. The dates on this slide are target dates and assume that
ICANN will move forward with strings identified as "low risk" in the recently published study "Name Collision in the DNS" in accordance with
the recommended mitigation measures proposed in the paper entitled "New gTLD Collision Risk Management". The earliest path forward
may change depending upon community feedback received during the public comment period on the recommended mitigation measures,
and any subsequent actions taken by the New gTLD Program Committee of the ICANN Board, among other things.
