Membership
Terms and Conditions
Last updated: November 6, 2026
These Terms and Conditions describe membership in The gTLD Network (The Network) for applicants participating in connection with ICANN’s 2026 New gTLD Round. By purchasing membership, you agree to these terms on behalf of yourself or the organization you represent.
1.The membership offer
The Network is a peer network intended to support member visibility, LinkedIn engagement, shared market awareness, and exchange among gTLD applicants. Participation is intended to be useful both before and after delegation. Membership is associated with the applicant or company provided at checkout.
The Network’s activities may include members engaging with one another’s relevant announcements, sharing information, and participating in community promotion. Participation is voluntary and subject to the rules of the platforms used.
2.Fees and payment
The membership fee is US$800 per applicant, billed annually. The final quantity, billing amount, billing schedule, and any applicable taxes or charges will be shown by PayPal before you confirm payment.
Payments are handled through PayPal-hosted Checkout. PayPal’s checkout terms and privacy information apply to payment processing. The Network does not receive or store your full payment-card details through this static website.
3.Membership activation and information
Membership takes effect immediately after PayPal confirms successful payment. At checkout, provide the applicant or company name and a contact email. Keep those details accurate and current.
The public Members directory is maintained separately from checkout and may not update automatically when a payment is made. Only information intended for public display should be submitted for the directory.
4.Renewal, cancellation, and refunds
Membership is billed annually. Any recurring renewal, renewal date, and cancellation method will be disclosed in PayPal Checkout and the billing information PayPal provides. Review those details before paying.
The offer information provided for this membership does not specify a separate refund policy. These terms do not create a no-refund rule or limit any rights that cannot be excluded under applicable law. For billing questions, use the support contact shown in your PayPal receipt or membership communications.
5.Community participation and outcomes
Members are responsible for their own posts, statements, and conduct, including compliance with applicable law and the terms of services such as LinkedIn. The Network’s promotion and engagement activities are collaborative aims, not guarantees of any particular reach, engagement, application result, delegation, registration volume, revenue, or other business outcome.
Membership does not give the Network authority to act for an applicant, registry, or member, and does not constitute professional, legal, regulatory, or ICANN advice.
6.The member directory
Information published in the Members directory is available to the public. Members are responsible for ensuring they are authorized to submit the information and for not providing confidential or sensitive personal information for public display. Directory details may be corrected or removed on request through the Network’s published contact channel; removing a live page entry may not remove copies retained in public version history or third-party archives.
7.ICANN name and relationship
The Network is independent. References to ICANN and the 2026 New gTLD Round identify the context of the membership offer and do not imply that ICANN sponsors, approves, operates, or endorses the Network.
8.Updates to these terms
The Network may update these terms by publishing a revised version on this website and changing the “Last updated” date. Material changes to the price or membership offer will be presented before a new or renewed payment is taken.
9.Questions
For membership or billing questions, use the Network contact details provided in membership communications or your PayPal receipt, or send us an email at contact@gtld.network.
