DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.create Domain Names
Not delegatedThe.create string is a proposed generic top-level domain centred on making, design and creative output. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group and Suffix Inc. as the organisations publicly associated with the string, with the available evidence indicating a contested application context rather than a delegated live extension. ICANNβs new gTLD materials show that applicants may apply for strings that have not yet been delegated, subject to programme rules and restrictions. (lfg.link)
