Over 100 proposals have been publicly announced for when ICANN begins
taking applications for new generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) according
to statistics compiled by Adrenaline TLD, themselves likely applicants
for a number of sporting-related gTLDs such as .SKI, .BIKE and .SURF.

The proposals are dominated by geographical and specialty strings and
these make up 87 of the 104 possibilities and do not include
internationalise domain name extensions. There are also duplicates with
more than one applicant at this stage for several gTLDs including .GAY,
.SPORT and .ECO.
