OMFG what the hell is with all the real email addresses listed - its a spammers paradise. You'd think they'd be all throwaways but there's a lot of real ones (eg. banks, communications) and also noticed a smattering of gov domains.

#22Google wants: .ads, .and, .android, .app, .are, .baby, .blog, .boo, .book, .buy, .cal, .car (no .cdr?), .channel, .chrome, .cloud, .corp (great way to snoop on poorly configured intranets), .cpa, .dad, .day, .dclk, .dds (New: Google Dentist!), .dev, .diy, .docs, .dog, .dot, .drive, .earth, .eat, .esq, .est, .family, .film, .fly, .foo, .free, .fun, .fyi, .game, .gbiz, .gle, .gmail, .gmbh (really?), .goo, .goog, .googl…
FWIW, in google's list, what the heck is ".srl" supposed to be? (maybe the italian/spanish/romanian equivalent of .llc)
EDIT: I meant, is google really asking for "a domain for limited liability company acronym in some romance languages" or is there something that makes more sense?

There are many companies applying for .app TLD. Edit: Google is one of them under an alias. What was noteworthy was that many companies seem to be formed for this purpose only. There's "DotApp Inc", ".app registry inc" and a bunch of other names like that.
Google created "Charleston Road Registry Inc." to apply for and/or run these TLDs.

There was a $108,000 "evaluation fee" per gtld, so that's over 11 million USD in fees.
Settling all conflicts might well be that expensive.

#26I'm curious why some of those rows are colored blue (IDN, KIDS, UMMAH). I also wonder what effect this will have on domain squatting (probably very little, all told).
Anyone have any favorites? I see .DOT (dot.dot, anyone?), .WINNERS, .SUCKS (more desirable than .SEX), .NINJA, .MATRIX (registered by L'Oreal rather than HP, sadly), .IRA (financial planning and domestic terrorism in one convenient location), and absolutely no sign of .CAT (what do you think the internet is for, anyway? (No, wait, .PORN is right there.)).

no 2-letter domains allowed, they are reserved for countries ;)
Re: New gTLD Applied-For Strings
#28What happens when several companies want the same one? There's a whole bunch of companies going for .app, so who gets which domains?
Re: New gTLD Applied-For Strings
#29With a quick look there are some interesting things. Doesn't look like too many consumer companies came out to play. One of note is that Coca-Cola did not bid on .coke nor did P&G bid on anything.
car companies seem to be on board, I can see brands for ford, general motors, fiat, toyota, audi, nissan.
No french though, quick, let's grab .renault!
