Does anyone know if subdomains on these gTLDs are required to be offered/sold publicly once acquired?

I don't understand how some of them can be granted to just one company when they are a "global" namespace, and then not allowed by the public to purchase or use.

I'm not talking about ones that are the name of a well known huge company that is unlikely to disappear.

Suggestion: Allow the user to sort the list by number of applications.

so many TLDs that seem to be exploiting similarity to existing ones?

.cmo/.con are particularly egregious

Very nice! Some more sorting and filtering options would be handy, and some more view options, so each TLD doesn't take up half the screen when it has a lot of applicants.

PS - Your Source link is a 404.

I don't want to see any new domains, we rely on the domain as a source of security -- I know, it sucks, but it's all we have, to look at that browser address bar and confirm it is really mybank.com that is asking for your login details, and each time someone adds a TLD, you have the risk of mybank.us, or mybank.info or mybank.bank confusing users. Enough already with the TLD.

I have been looking for an expansion of TLDs that are short, have a decent ring for self-hosting stuff, and don't sound too scammy.

Like `.link` is pretty cool but it's expensive because one of those personal-link-inbio companies created it and wants to cash in on it.

Just from scanning these, maybe:

* .air

* .bit

* .hub

* .iam

* .index (long but I love how universal it is)

* .lab

* .log

* .pod

* .port

* .self is really interesting, wonder if that would take off

* .sys

* .zen

Very useful! I found this article a really good summary of the gtld situation:

The auctioning off of the GTLD space for private gain is one of the most egregious and offensive public-private wealth transfer grafts of our century.

Don't you dare, Coffee Danger LLC

i'd like to see this (filter / exclude) the dotBrand or brand-specific TLDs, as they are not open to the general public.

like .playstation or .airbnb or .nike
