The flow chart recommends a minimum of 18 steps to gain approval for a new gTLD as seen in the marked up version below:
OK, so new and existing registrars will be allowed to propose new gTLD’s (new domain extensions such as .com, .net etc.) and submit them to an approval process which essentially breaks down into the following rules:
