ICANN, the group in charge of administering Internet addresses, has approved two new top level domains, .jobs and .travel.

At the 22nd ICANN International Conference in Mar del Plata, Argentina, on Friday the organization approved Tralliance to operate the .travel domain and Employ Media to operate .jobs. Registration for both domains will start in a couple of months, and both should be live by the end of 2005. Prices have yet to be decided.

Rupert Goodwins of ZDNet UK reported from London.
