New gTLD Application for .lan

The new gTLD application for .lan is in the contention set, which means that multiple applicants are vying for the right to run the top-level domain. The application, CD2694T-T26351, was submitted by Minds + Machines Group Limited, a UK-based company. The .lan domain is expected to be a geo-identifier for local area networks (LANs), allowing users to create a unique web address for their home or office network.
