What .roofing would mean
In their own words, from the public part of each application (question 118):
Roofing commonly refers to the materials, systems, or activities associated with the construction, installation, repair, or maintenance of roofs.
ROOFING is the material and skilled work used to cover, protect and repair the top of a building. It keeps the elements out and everything beneath it protected. We have it covered.

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