According to https://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings

.dot and .open are ICANN.

Not sure about .o and .n, might be something to think about, since OpenNIC 
runs separate TLDs having single-letter TLDs might be "OpenNIC-specific" and 
I would support a ".o" and ".n"

I would support ".onic"

I do not support ".on" due to the confusion with ".on.ca" that Maiyannah 
mentioned here.
