What Is General Availability?

General Availability — the launch phase when a domain extension becomes openly available for registration under its normal eligibility and allocation rules.

The applicable rules depend on registry policy, ICANN requirements, and relevant law. Owning a trademark does not always create an automatic right to a domain, and registering a domain does not create rights in someone else’s brand.
