We’re looking at, without a doubt, the busiest week ever from a General Availability perspective. There will be no landrush phases, only two Early Access Program phases but (brace yourself) 18 General Availability phases.
No, it’s not a typo.
First of all, here are the General Availability phases that will start tomorrow (Monday, the 15th of September):
Dot Cooking
Dot Country
Dot Fishing
Dot Horse
Dot Organic
Dot Rodeo
Dot Vodka
Dot Vegas
Next, there will be one on Tuesday (September 16):
Dot Versicherung (“Versicherung” = “insurance” in German)
… and a bunch more on Wednesday (September 17):
Dot Church
Dot Guide
Dot Host
Dot Life
Dot Loans
Dot Place
Dot Press
Dot Website
Dot Republican
Last but not least, the Early Access Program for two new gTLDs will start on Wednesday as well:
Dot Direct
Dot Place
I do my best to provide accurate information but please keep in mind that since there are so many new gTLDs and since a lot of them are very poorly promoted (pretty much no promotion whatsoever in a lot of cases), I might have missed some.
Do your own research, don’t rely exclusively on mine.

Ant idea on Dot Help?
Thanks.

Some of these have been heavily promoted, e.g. .website and to a lesser extent .vegas, so it will be interesting to see the results.

@Mark: Uniregistry is behind Dot Help if I’m not mistaken, it will go live later this year (you’ll be able to pre-order at Enom for example as of the 25th of November)
@Snoopy: compared to other new gTLDs sure, one can say they’ve been more aggressively promoted but as I’m sure you’ll agree, the bar is set very low because new gTLDs in general are poorly marketed, at least that’s how things currently stand
