.ais Domain Names
Announced application.ais is a proposed top-level domain centred on the acronym AIS. Publicly available sources show the string as part of ICANN’s 2026 round application activity, while IANA does not list .ais in the root zone database, so it should be treated as pre-delegation rather than live. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with .ais, with a disclosure date of 13 August 2026.
