Reveal Day acknowledges one .africa application
On Reveal Day, 13 June 2012, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) confirmed that UniForum South Africa is the only one applicant for the .africa Top Level Domain (TLD). If successful it will be allocating names to the public such as "example.africa".
Another bidder, DotConnectAfrica Trust, has applied for the .dotafrica TLD, which, if it is successful, means it could allocate names such as "example.dotafrica."
Earlier this year, the African Union Commission (AUC) selected UniForum SA as the preferred applicant for .africa due to its commitment to transparency and its record of accomplishment in reliability, technical ability, financial stability and continental representation.
As early as the first quarter of 2013, ICANN will announce whether UniForum SA has been successful in its bid for the continent's own TLD.
