Alternate Top-Level Domain Namespaces

These are the Alternate Root systems about which OpenNIC has not formed an "official" opinion. Any member, of course, may challenge this decision and bring the issue up for evaluation, as the history of the alternate roots tends to be very murky and difficult to untangle. Despite our commitment to not conflict with pre-existing active namespaces, many of those namespaces already conflict with each other and many claim TLDs which are not , or may never have been, in active use.
