The 2026 round: every application announced by its applicant or published by ICANN, the strings applied for, the applicants, ICANN's calendar and every change to the round data. Every response carries meta with the sources to credit.

The A-label, lower case.

Get a 2026 round string › Responses

The string.

A string in the 2026 round: applied for, named as a backup, or claimed and abandoned. Strings that are already TLDs are not part of the round, except where ICANN lists an application to add an IDN variant label to an existing TLD (`icann_types` includes `variant-only`): that application counts, under the existing TLD, as ICANN lists it.

RoundString

string

string · required

The A-label.

How many applicants are pursuing it. Two or more means contested.

first_seen

string · date · required

verdict

string

The assessment's one-sentence verdict. Absent until the string is assessed.

RoundComp[]

Only on the single-string read: the AI's comparables from the 2012 round, closest first. Absent when the string has none.
