The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has published a new issue of itsGeneric Top Level Domain (gTLD) Health Index, revealing statistics on topics such as geographic diversity of gTLD registry operators and registrars, the total number of second-level domain name registrations in gTLDs, additions and deletions in gTLDs, marketplace stability, and trust. The stats show, among others, that the regions with the largest number of ICANN-accredited gTLD registry operators and ICANN-accredited gTLD registrars are Europe, North America, and Asia/Australia/Pacific, with comparatively lower percentages in Africa and Latin America/Caribbean. According to the index, there were 195 404 000 second-level gTLD domain names at the end of the second quarter of 2017 (less than the 196 518 000 domain names in existence at the end of 2016). There were also less domain name registrations in internationalised gTLDs (IDNs) in the second quarter of 2017, compared to both the first quarter of the year and the second quarter of 2016.
