Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) plans to increase the number of generic top-level domains, and it is through this process that a .cym top-level domain might be awarded.

However, ''.cym'' was eventually assigned to the Cayman Islands because ICANN's policy states that new applications for 3-letter domains will not be accepted if they match existing ISO 3-letter codes.
