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
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. [3]
