I don't think it's likely to cause issues, but i did find Stephane's note interesting. I've been scrolling through the large number of applications, and I hadn't really noticed that there was an overlap. W On Fri, Oct 9, 2026 at 9:16 AM, Carsten Schiefner <carsten@schiefner.de> wrote:

ICANN just published the list of applications for new TLDs and there is one, from Turkey, for .atlas:

Mildly - in the sense of: academically - interesting for this community, I think, Stephane.

Or would you - would anyone - foresee conflicts or any other issues arising from this application and the go-live of this TLD?

Best - and have a nice weekend, all!
