More information:

.mls is a proposed gTLD in ICANN's new gTLD program. The acronym "mls" stands for Multiple List Service, which is a suite of databases and software that are used by real estate agents and brokers to list, compare, and sell homes.[1] The public applicant is the MLS Domains Association, which intends to apply as a Community gTLD; the association believes there may be some competition for the extension.[2]

MLS Domains Association has selected CentralNic to act as its registry and technical provider. They came to this decision after a extensive evaluation process. The MLS Domain Assocation does not expect to ever register more than 2-3,000 domains on the .mls extension.[3]

The owner of MLS.com intends to file a rights objection against MLS Domains Association's application, it is unclear whether MLS.com will also be filing their own application.[4]
