.nsfw Domain Names

Pre-launch; contested applicant string

.nsfw is a proposed generic top-level domain intended to signal not-safe-for-work content, branding or access control for adult-oriented material. Publicly announced information identifies more than one organisation associated with the string, so it should be treated as a contested application string rather than a live, delegated extension. IANA’s root zone records do not show.nsfw as delegated. (newgtldprogram.icann.org)
