I hope this initiative has more success than the Urban Initiative - see 
http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/oua/about/goals - theObama 
Administration offered in 2. I'd communicated with the Office of Urban 
Affairs on numerous occasions as I imagined it utilizing city-TLDs for 
regionalization and other urban coordination needs. So far there's been 
little response (I'm being kind there).

If anyone read Eric's post and said "Geez, why don't they have an urban 
counterpart" will join me in signing a letter to the president 
encouraging a revitalization of that effort, I'll produce a first draft.

Best,

Tom Lowenhaupt
