ICANN's plan to allow companies to apply for new domain name suffixes has run into a bit of a snag, with a software problem forcing it to move the application deadline. Originally, the application period for the custom suffixes — such as ".theverge" — was planned to close this evening, but according to a post on its website, ICANN discovered what it describes as a "glitch" in its top-level domain application system (TLS).
