'''.hawaii''' is a proposed TLD that was not applied for in Round 1 of [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]. In February 2012, the Hawai'i state legislature proposed a bill that would require the Hawai'i Department of Business, Economic Development, and Tourism to apply for .hawaii, [[.hi]], and [[.aloha]]. The legislature's motivation for applying for the TLDs was defensive.<ref>[http://www.thedomains.com/2012/02/02/hawaii-proposes-bill-to-force-state-to-apply-for-new-gtlds-1-of-which-isnt-even-allowed/ Hawaii Proposes Bill To Force State To Apply For New gTLD’s; 1 Of Which Isn’t Even Allowed, thedomains.com]</ref> The full bill can be read [http://capitol.hawaii.gov/measure_indiv.aspx?billtype=SB&billnumber=2985 here].
