.reisen, "travel" in German, is a proposed TLD in ICANN's New gTLD Program. The applicant is Donuts (New Cypress, LLC). A similar string, .reise, was applied for by dotreise GmbH.[1]

Representatives of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland issued a joint GAC Early Warning against both .reise and .reisen. The warning system is noted as a strong recommendation on behalf of national governments to the ICANN Board that a given TLD application should be denied as it stands. Applicants are encouraged to work with objecting GAC members.[2]

The warning states that it is their belief that .reise and .reisen should be put in a contention set and considered together, and that the applicant should restrict the TLD to entities legitimately involved in the tourism industry.[3]
