"When can I register a .nyc domain name?
Domain names are currently expected to become available in late 2013 after ICANN approves the City’s application.
"
and
"Upon acceptance of its application for the .nyc domain, the City of New York intends to enter into an agreement with ICANN under which it will have control over the administration and management of the .nyc domain."
Perhaps they know more than us, but they seem very confident that they'll be getting approved. Nobody else applied for .nyc, but I don't recall it ever being indicated that was enough to guarantee approval.
- kyrias 13y agoYeah, .nyc is such a narrow area that it doesn't deserve it's own TLD.
- jweir 13y agoWould any country smaller, economically or in population, than NYC also be too narrow to deserve its own TLD?
- mcintyre1994 13y agoI think the difference is in degrees of independence. That's obviously way too subjective (and would become political), but my point is that a small independent island nation is more independent than NYC, which is obviously 'just' a big city in the USA. NYC is served completely by .us or .com which anecdotally seems to be used heavily within the USA, while generic small island nation isn't served by any tld sufficiently.
