What .folio would mean
In their own words, from the public part of each application (question 118):
"Folio" is an English noun of Latin origin for a leaf or page of a document, and a page number. In publishing it denotes a sheet folded once and the book format made from it. By extension, a collection or gathered body of work, as in "portfolio."

When will .folio be available?
ICANN has not set a date. The final list of applied-for strings comes on String Confirmation Day (November 17, 2026), community input and objections run until March 16, 2027, and ICANN processes applications after a prioritization draw in 2027. Registration opens only after ICANN delegates .folio and its registry announces launch dates.
