The Internet got its first new batch of international domain names today with the selection of .biz, .name and five other suffixes that will enable a lot more website variety.

The decision by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) capped a half decade of discussions about how to relieve the crowded field of addresses ending in .com.

ICANN also approved .info for general use, .biz for businesses, .name for individuals, .pro for professionals, .museum for museums, .coop for business cooperatives and .aero for the aviation industry.

“This is only an initial sampling,” ICANN chairwoman Esther Dyson said. “The ones that were accepted ... will provide additional utility, but they are probably not the only ones that would qualify.”

Though additional rounds are expected, Dyson said ICANN had “not yet determined how we go forward from here”.

The new suffixes, which could appear in use by mid2001, are designed as alternatives to .com, a crowded suffix with some 20 million registrations. It would be similar to adding area codes to the national phone system to accommodate growth.

The additions are the first major ones to the Internet since the domain name system was developed in the 1980s, although ICANN has added some regional suffixes recently, including .ps for the Palestinian territories.
