The Project
In April 2026, ICANN will open a new global program for the creation of new Internet extensions (New gTLD Program).
Bouma Roots is preparing an application to operate a portfolio of future Pan-African name spaces, the technical identities of which will remain confidential until official submission. The objective is to permanently register Africa and its diasporas at the heart of the domain name system (DNS).
