uTLD (Unsponsored Top-Level Domain)

uTLD is the acronym used for Unsponsored Top-Level Domain and refers to a TLD that has no sponsoring organization behind it, but instead the policies are applied by ICANN.  This term is rarely used in passing conversation, and only referenced when distinguishing between sponsored and unsponsored TLDs.  Examples of uTLDs include .com, .net, .info and .biz.
