.sanda Domain Names
Application disclosedThe.sanda string is publicly associated with Journey To The West Corporation in ICANN’s 2026 new gTLD round disclosure materials. ICANN’s current applicant journey explains that applied-for strings move through pre-evaluation, string confirmation, evaluation, contracting and delegation, so.sanda should be understood as a proposed extension unless and until later registry outcomes are published. Publicly announced information also identifies Journey To The West Corporation as the organisation linked to the string on its own registry site. (xiyou.domains)
