DomainSherpa - Sherpa Shorts - August 20, 2026: LFG!

As we say on DomainSherpa - all roads lead to domains! And today we have a Sherpa Shorts segment hosted by JT and Drew, who are also joined by Vaughn Liley and Dan Adamson of Link Freedom Group. The Sherpas discuss where things currently stand with the new ICANN gTLD round, with Link Freedom Group having submitted over 300 applications. They also discuss their strategy with announcing their applications now rather than waiting until the October reveal date. The Sherpas also get into some of the applications announced by others and interesting opportunities surrounding the new gTLDs in general. All this and more is coming up on today's episode of Sherpa Shorts!
