Overview
The Pre-Delegation Testing (PDT) process allows ICANN to determine if registries meet specific “technical and operational requirements”[1] deemed necessary to maintain a new gTLD. PDT includes testing registry system operations and DNS server operational infrastructure. [2] Resources, from self-testing tools to PDT FAQs can be found on ICANN's Pre-Delegation Testing Page.
Important Points
This image shows the broad stages of PDT and the number of applicants at each stage as of Nov. 18, 2013. [3]
ICANN identified key elements in PDT as:
- Agreeing upon a test appointment date with ICANN through the Customer Service Portal
- Beginning data entry after receiving notification and completing all entries before the test appointment
- PDT service providers conduct the testing.
- Registries are given their test results through the Customer Service Portal. [4]
