[NA-Discuss] NARALO Agenda Item

Mon Feb 10 18:02:50 UTC 2014

Guys
Not sure if this is helpful to you or not .. 

There's a geo applicant group that's made up of the applicants for any geo new tlds .. 

Is that what you're talking about?

There's also another group which is focussed on the "cultural linguistic" TLDs - which sort of crosses over with the geos

Regards

Michele

Hi Garth.

There is no group of the kind Thomas is asking for, at least of which I'm aware.

There has been (and may still be) an organized group of cityTLD applicants, but that's different from getting a list of ALSs based in cities targeted to get a TLD.

Indeed, it is not obvious that all TLD strings that may appear as city TLDs are indeed so:

   - The .spa TLD is current under controversy, as a city in Belgium is
   claiming rights even though the applicants have no interest in the
   municipal use of the string
   - The .la TLD is focused on Latin America, not Los Angeles or Louisiana

Also, does an ALS's being based in a city necessarily mean that it is interest in that city's TLD? IMO, even identifying the group Thomas wants to collect may be harder than it looks.
