What .list would mean
In their own words, from the public part of each application (question 118):
List commonly refers to a collection of information presented together.
A list is a set of items gathered and ordered for reference, such as a directory, catalog, inventory, schedule, ranking, or checklist.
“List” means an organised collection or sequence of items, names, entries or information. The gTLD is intended for websites and services that create, publish, manage, share or organise lists and related content.
"List" refers to a number of connected items, names, or values written or printed together in sequence, typically arranged to record, organize, rank, or display them in a structured order.
LIST is a series of names or items arranged together. As a verb, it means to add something to that series or offer it for sale. If it matters, put it on the list.

When will .list 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 .list and its registry announces launch dates.
