As part of ICANN's global efforts to raise awareness of, and interest in the New gTLD Program: Next Round, all registries are invited to partner with us to develop use cases. These use cases tell the story of a TLD, including its considerations and business impact. They are intended for use as educational resources. We will continue to publish new use cases on this webpage on an ongoing basis.
A collection of geographic name TLD use cases can be viewed here.
