I went through the zone file for .Pics the next new gTLD of Frank Schilling’s Uniregistry that will go live on April 15th.
The registry gets to reserve 100 domain for its own use in the operation and promotion of the registry so far Uniregistry has selected 64 of these which are:

Sunrise registration for .Pics domain names closed on March 28th.
Here are some of the more interesting domain registered during that period and will be not be available once general availability opens up:

| adsense.pics |
| adwords.pics |

If your wondering is is the weather channel that got a Sunrise application on the domain weather.pics, a company by the name of Nemetos Group GmbH which got the domain stock.pics in Sunrise based on some “trademark”; next.co.uk got the domain Next.Pics; NLY Scandinavia AB got member.pics; Lexsynergy Limited that got standard.pics; Entrepreneur Media, Inc got Entrepreneur.pics and Graham Saywell of Auckland got the domain 888.pics with his trademark.
Uniregistry can add more domains to its reserved list for its own use before launch and can have a reserved list of premium domains as well. Moreover domains on the ICANN collision list will not allowed to be registered.
Adult.pics
Teen.pics
Mature.pics
Granny.pics
Secretary.pics
Porn.pics
…
no doubt most or all of these are already spoken for – yes
Damn, I guess I won’t be getting Domain.Pics lol…

All but porn.pics is available since Frank is not doing a sunrise its first come first served.
On another note granny.pics
Yuk
The lack of availability of good keywords in all these new extensions is actually good news for those of us who own these keywords in other tlds.
Hi Michael,
Thanks for this great post. How can I find such a list for other nTLDs which are in landrush phase at this time? Where can I find zone file for say .world nTLD? What software do I need to read it? Is there any api to check if a domain name is registered in sunrise or landrush phase or not before general availability?
Regards,
Rajendra
