About the .MLS domain
What is the .MLS domain?
The original application for this extension was backed by the MLS Domains Association, a non-profit group formed by 55 US multiple-listing services. However, ICANN noted at the time that the term "MLS" is generic in English-speaking countries, raising some controversy over the actual scope of CREA's rights outside Canada. According to available information, .mls domain registration is still not open: the extension is not currently onboarding registrars, so it's worth confirming directly with CREA what the current status is before planning any project.
