Can you register a .yeah domain?

What .yeah would mean
In their own words, from the public part of each application (question 118):
YEAH is an extension of our core brand that has been used in mass global marketing campaigns for over a decade. It is supported by Booking.com’s Swiss trademark registration for YEAH, as well as additional trademark registrations for BOOKING.YEAH.
Yeah commonly refers to a broadly recognized term used across a wide range of contexts.
Who applied for .yeah
Booking.com
Booking.com B.V., NL, stage: Pre-Evaluation Processing
We intend to operate the .YEAH TLD as a dotBrand TLD where all domain registrations will be restricted to organisations within our corporate group and, potentially, to licensees of our trademarks. We will implement a strict registration approval process to ensure registrations are limited to these types of registrants that will include:
Toddler Logic, LLC
US, stage: Pre-Evaluation Processing
The mission of .YEAH is to provide a namespace associated with the applied-for string. The .YEAH gTLD is intended to serve a broad range of registrants and users, including individuals, businesses, organizations, communities, projects, and other entities that identify with, relate to, or wish to be associated with the concept represented by the applied-for string.

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