DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.dian Domain Names
Application disclosedThe.dian string appears in ICANN’s 2026 Round material and is publicly associated with Link Freedom Group in the applicant’s own namespace presentation. ICANN’s New gTLD Program confirms that applied-for strings are published after the application window closes, and public input begins once strings are confirmed. At this stage,.dian should be treated as a proposed extension rather than a live registry.
