Michele Neylon discusses the potential for confusion created by the introduction of new generic top-level domains (gTLDs), as domains like .photography, .photos, .gallery could be mixed up with traditional domains like .com. He notes that registrations for the .club gTLD increased by nearly 9,000 in the last week and that total registrations across all new gTLDs has risen by nearly 200,000 in that time period, with .xyz being the largest gTLD.
