.state Domain Names

Prelaunch

.state is a proposed generic top-level domain associated with the word “state”. Publicly announced information identifies Link Freedom Group as the applicant associated with.state, and the extension is listed among the group’s proposed namespace offerings. No delegation is shown in the sources reviewed, so the string should be treated as prelaunch rather than live.
