In 2012, the [[New gTLD Program]] received 1,930 applications, which resulted in 234 string [[contention Set|contentions]] where two or more applicants sought the same or similar top-level domains. As of December 2022, 16 of the 234 contentions have been resolved via [[Auctions of Last Resort]] conducted by ICANN’s authorized auction service provider. ICANN refers to the proceeds generated from these auctions as “New gTLD Auctions Proceeds."

In mid-April 2023, the ICANN organization issued a request for information (RFI) to identify vendors to provide support services for the ICANN Grant Program. ICANN is looking specifically for vendors to: assemble and manage the Independent Application Assessment Panel; conduct eligibility checks of applications; | |||
offer or manage components of grant management software, inquiries from activities of the applicant, audits and reports on granted applications, and/or conduct process or cycle evaluations for future improvements. The RFI has a deadline of May 5 and will be followed by an evaluation of responses and a follow-on request for proposal starting on June 5 2023.<ref>[https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/grant-program-rfi-12apr23-en.pdf Grant Program RFI, Files, ICANN.org]</ref> | |||
