Minds + Machines

We are proud to announce the launch of Dot Cities, a resource for cities (or states, or regions, or provinces) who are thinking about launching a new TLD.

We’re providing what we hope is a fairly full slate of information for city managers to help them decide what they need to do to go forward:

• List of existing city projects
• How to determine if a city or region can support a TLD
• Information on the application process, and the special rules for cities
• Information on how to choose a registry provider, including an RFP guide
• Costs and benefits of a city TLD
• A collection of resources, including ICANN links, market research links, and sample support and non-objection letters

The site has already received some good reviews. Please let us know what you think, and how we can improve things.
