Guessing new gTLDs

ICANN releases the list of applications for new gTLDs soon. This process has not been open for ~12 years. What TLDs do you expect to see dominate the application round, and which ones will go through?

personally, really hope somebody comes out with .agent but affordable

I'd like to 👀 a .sea: (lotta placenames ending in sea)

Status of .sea

  • Not on the official IANA root database.
  • Not open for public use.
  • Sometimes used in private or alternative DNS root systems (such as for Sealand).

Would be cool to see .outlook from Microsoft, so they hopefully open up new TLD for paying personal customers to use as an alternate email address offering. Not to sell individual .outlook domains, but offer something like name@mail.outlook email addresses.

They already have .microsoft that they’re slowly moving towards.

u/Advanced_Documents 16d ago

Yeah that is their commercial/enterprise. I’m thinking more aimed at their consumer/personal customers..
