> According to the domain name industry brief, there were 265 million domains registered globally in the third quarter of 2013. The base ccTLD registrations were 119.5 million. The largest top level domains by zone size in the third quarter of 2013 included .com, .tk, .de, .net, .uk, .org, .cn, .info, .ru, and .nl. None of the African registries appeared in the top ten. The largest ccTLD in Africa by zone size did not surpass the 1 million mark during the same period. The forum will focus on how to monetize the Africa Domain Name Space to allow for faster growth on par with the rest of the world.
