The management authority for gTLD (Generic Top-Level Domain) domain names is designated by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) in accordance with global internet governance standards, and this responsibility has been delegated to the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

ICANN is a global authority that regulates the registration and distribution processes of gTLDs. Organizations or individuals can apply to ICANN for the authority to manage a specific gTLD. These applications undergo a rigorous evaluation process based on detailed technical and financial criteria.

If the applications are deemed suitable, the organization granted the authority to manage a specific gTLD must continue its management in full compliance with the rules governing the resources and policies of the gTLD. This process is meticulously conducted to ensure the gTLD operates effectively and provides a reliable service to the internet community.

In summary, the authority to grant gTLD domain names is provided through organizations that evaluate and approve applications based on criteria established by ICANN in accordance with global standards.
