2.9 Relative Share of Domain Names in New gTLDs Existing in Legacy TLDs Prior to Expansion
This metric looks at the relative share of new gTLD registrations already having the same domain in legacy TLDs prior to expansion. The data will be presented as a snapshot in time. A random sample of 25 gTLDs was selected to be published in this chart. The same random sample is used for metrics 3.8 and 4.4. [Updated Monthly] [As of: – 7 December, 2018]

2.11 Jurisdictions Where New gTLD & Legacy gTLD Registrants are Located
This metric measures the geographic diversity of registrants across all new gTLDs, and legacy gTLDS using a sample of names. The sample is based on WHOIS output information as of January 2016 for a sample of 200,000 domain names for the 1,215 delegated new gTLDs, 150,000 of which were in legacy gTLDs and 50,000 in new gTLDs. The number of registrants is based on the sample, not the total number of registrants per country. [Updated Quarterly] [As of: – 7 December, 2018]
