This page reflects the current string contention sets as of the most recent update (04 May 2021) to this page. String contention sets will be updated from time to time to reflect any changes. Please note that the current status of string contention sets could change due to changes to application status as a result of withdrawals, evaluation results, dispute resolution proceedings, contention resolution processes, or the potential impact of ICANN accountability mechanisms. Except for the application statuses "Withdrawn" and "Delegated", application statuses are not final.

A change in application status or update to a contention set is intended to inform the applicants and the community of an application's current status. A change or update is not a definite indication that an application may proceed to another phase of the program. For more information including definitions of application statuses see the applicant advisory.

Notes:
  1. On Hold: One or more applications in the contention set may have a status of On Hold. Applications in the set cannot proceed to New gTLD Program Auctions until the set is no longer on hold.
  2. Winning applicant results are preliminary until the winning price is received in full.
  3. Per the 4 February 2018 Board resolution, the Board directed the President and CEO that the applications for .CORP, .HOME, and .MAIL should not proceed in the New gTLD Program. As the applications for the strings .CORP, .HOME, and .MAIL were not approved to proceed in the New gTLD Program, contention no longer exists, and the contention set status has been updated to "Resolved".
