Frequently asked questions

Is.mate delegated and live?

It is presented here as a proposed string, so it should not be treated as a delegated live extension.

Who is associated with the.mate application?

Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the organisation associated with the string.

Can I register a.mate domain now?

Not on the basis of the evidence used here; registration would depend on future delegation and registry launch decisions.

What kind of brand might suit.mate?

It may suit brands that want to signal friendliness, collaboration, companionship or community.

Does.mate have to mean a social network?

No. It could also work for tools, services, memberships, support pages or partnership-led brands.
