Following sunrise and landrush periods, new gTLDs move into the final stage, general availability. At this time, anyone can register a second-level domain within the new gTLD, subject to availability. Read a list of new gTLDs and their status.
If any of these gTLDs could be of value to you or your brand, or are of concern — remember that, as a registered agent of ICANN’s Trademark Clearinghouse, we can help develop and implement your gTLD strategy. For more information, read Porter Wright’s law alert about gTLDs.
