On String Confirmation Day, ICANN will publish on the New gTLD Program website an updated list showing each application’s final, confirmed applied-for string following the Replacement Period, as well as updated contention sets reflecting any replacements of original applied-for strings.
String Confirmation Day marks the point at which all applied-for strings, except for .Brand TLD strings, are finalized for the remainder of the evaluation process. String changes occurring after String Confirmation Day are only available to .Brand TLD applicants that are in contention. The exact date of the String Confirmation Day is to be determined by ICANN, subject to application volume received.
