The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers's (ICANN) recent vote to drastically increase the volume of domain names is a significant decision that will change the way websites are categorized – or will it? As users, we have seen websites categorized as one of 22 extensions including .com, .net and .org, in addition to country-specific extensions.
