The body behind the world's internet domains want to create something entirely new — and not for what you'd think

Malicious domains.

In a move to enhance the security and stability of the global domain name system (DNC), the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) has proposed the creation of a new top-level domain (TLD) for internal use.

The aptly named .internal TLD has been put forward as a replacement for 1.9.168.x.x IPv4 addresses by providing a designated space for private purposes within enterprises and for device vendors.
