December 18, 2009, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) released a draft of new gTLDs intention program, and in March 2011 formally approved the implementation of the new gTLDs scheme.

April 2012, China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC) filed officially application to ICANN for .公司(company) and .网络(network) being written to root DNS of global internet.

According to the "Notice of Chinese Internet Domain System" issued by the former Ministry of Information Industry (now the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology), as Chinese Internationalized Domain Names(IDN), the registration services of .公司 and .网络 got already available for mainland Chinese users.

On January 21, 2014, ICANN approved ".公司" and ".网络" to be formally delegated into the global Internet root zone and become available for global access as new gTLDs.
