ICANN 2026 · Official list

Who applied for which string

Our application · Reveal Day

.socialmedia

One applicant. No contention set. On ICANN’s official list, .socialmedia was applied for by us alone — so it goes into evaluation, as of Reveal Day, with no auction to face and no rival to settle with.

Pre-evaluation processing

723 of the round’s 986 strings have a single applicant, and 333 of the applications behind them are closed .brand registries. .socialmedia is one of the open, generic ones — and no other applied-for string contains “social” or “media”. What remains is ICANN’s process: string similarity review, evaluation, objection periods and contracting, before any delegation.

This is ICANN’s list. It reproduces the official export of 7 October 2026. Every application is still in pre-evaluation processing. The 263 contention sets are the ones published on Reveal Day, and they group identical strings only — string similarity review comes later and can still merge sets or add new ones.

Beyond the 1,614 primary applications, 1,169 carry a replacement string (442 active, 727 marked deactivated by ICANN). They are shown under each application in the table and left out of the counts below.

How to read the list

  • Primary and replacement stringsEach application names one primary string. Many also name a replacement, which only comes into play if the primary does not proceed. Applicants were not required to reveal which string they would prefer to keep.
  • Contention setsApplications for the same string form a set, and only one can be delegated. How a set is resolved is set out in ICANN’s Applicant Guidebook. At Reveal Day the sets cover identical strings only.
  • TypeTaken from ICANN’s own flags: brand (.brand, closed registries for a trademark owner), community, geographic (self-designated) and IDN. Everything else is a generic string.
