Paris mayor launches campaign in support of .paris

paris
Bertrand Delanoë, mayor of Paris, has shown he is serious about .paris with the launch of a new campaign and website advocating for a .paris gTLD. Last year, the city officially declared its intention to apply for the extension.

The city has an urban area of 11.6 million people, more than many countries with their own ccTLDs. According to the campaign:

The Paris metropolitan area could substantially benefit from the availability of domain names under a dedicated .paris TLD. For instance, .paris domain names could demonstrate a sense of belonging to the metropolis. They could also contribute to the localization of services. And they may additionaly increase the profile of companies or brands associating their name to that of Paris.

Paris will likely be able to submit its application for the extension late next year.
