.panda Domain Names

Proposed string

The.panda string is a proposed new gTLD associated with public applicant disclosures in ICANN’s New gTLD programme. It has been publicly linked to more than one claimant, so it should be treated as a contested applied-for string rather than an established live extension. (gtldresult.icann.org)
