===Interisle Consulting Report===
[[ICANN]] contracted [[Interisle Consulting]] to carry out an investigation into the effects the delegation of 100s of new gTLDs would have on the security of the existing Internet and intranets around the world. The resulting report, which was published on August 6th, 2013 by ICANN, found that there would be many name collisions for new gTLDs that could create potential security risks. ICANN's initial response to this report was to propose a delay based on the assessed security risk each New gTLD would carry.
* For [[.home]] and [[.corp]], ICANN deemed the two strings "high-risk" because of the widespread use of the terms on internal networks. Currently, ICANN is indefinitely delaying the delegation of these string to the [[Root Zone]].
* 20% of applications had been deemed an "uncalculated risk" by ICANN initially, saying these strings would be delayed 2-3 months in their application process while they conduct more research into whether the string is of "high" or "low" risk.
