October 28, 2004 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Two new domains, .post and .travel could appear next year after ICANN (icann.org), the organization that oversees the Internet address system, announced their preliminary approval on Wednesday, according to a report by the Associated Press.

The proposed domains, targeted at the postal and travel industries, were approved ahead of eight others, including .asia, .jobs and .xxx. According to the report, .post and .travel were granted approval because of the level of technical and commercial details their sponsors were able to quickly provide.

The Universal Postal Union in Bern, Switzerland has sponsored the .post application and New York-based trade group The Travel Partnership Corp. is sponsoring .travel.
