Historical turning point in the management of web domains. The suffixes that end the site addresses will now be much freer: after the period, no longer just it, com, info or net and org, but it will also be possible to use the name of a company or a category . This was decided by the board of directors of ICANN, the non-profit body that manages Internet domains, at its annual meeting in Singapore. Peter Dengate Thrush, the president of Icann who in 2007 took over from Vinton Cerf, one of the fathers of the Internet, commented on this turning point: "The decision will open the door to a new era on the Internet".
