.and is one of 101 TLDs applied for by Google through its subsidiary Charleston Road Registry Inc.; it was applied for as a closed registration Brand TLD intended for use and promotion of its android brand and services. The company also applied for .android.[1]
The application was later criticized as flying directly in the face of ICANN's applicant guidebook given that it clearly lays out that geographic and territory names on the ISO 3166-1 standard list are protected. AND is on that list as a designation of Andorra. Thus, it has been suggested that the application will be rejected outright.[2] Google also applied for .are and .est, which have the same conflict. It is rumored that Google withdrew all three applications prior to Initial Evaluation.[3]
