Seven public-list differences leave one historical gap: .haven

Six public inventories were normalized to lowercase A-labels and compared row by row with every historical claim in this tracker. Seven labels appeared on at least one external list but had no local claim record.

The one historical gap

Domain Incite reported on 21 April 2026 that The Reservoir Project, also preliminarily called the Child Online Safety Association, intended to apply for .haven. The wording is specific enough to preserve as a reported public claim, but it predates the application window and does not confirm a filing.

No first-party statement or post-deadline confirmation was found. The new claim therefore remains reported, with no filed status.

Why the other six do not become claims

• .bharat and .india come from an August 2025 report about NIXI’s plans. Both are country-name forms that ICANN’s rules do not permit as new gTLD applications, and no later filing statement was found.
• .nexus is already delegated in the DNS root from the 2012 round. Its appearance as a 2026 application is a public-list error.
• .polygon was an earlier Unstoppable Domains plan. The company now lists it among the TLDs not proceeding with ICANN applications. That cancellation is already preserved in the 25 August news record and does not create a new current claim.
• .status and .uwu appear only in an early-reveal directory whose public API omits the applicant identity, evidence URL, role, and TAMS verification. Without an attributable source, neither can enter claimant or contention arithmetic.

After the update, the tracker preserves 723 historical strings, of which 717 have current public claims. The contested-string count is unchanged.
