DOMAIN EXTENSION GUIDE
.fair Domain Names
Applicant announced; not live.fair is a proposed new gTLD associated with an applicant-led registry concept built around fairness, trade fairs, and exchange. Publicly announced information identifies Journey To The West Corporation as the applicant associated with.fair. The string suits themes of honest dealing, exhibitions, procurement, and community-led commerce, but it should be treated as pre-launch rather than a live public extension. (xiyou.domains)
