I started thinking about the upcoming TLD application
for .berlin
There are those that will argue that instead of
granting the sponsoring organization for this
initiative a top level domain for Berlin, we should
instead be insisting that Berlin rightly belongs on
another level (as in berlin.de or berlin.eu or
berlin.de.eu). If we accept this argument, then we
are accepting a taxonomic approach which calls for
geographic labels to abide by whatever hierarchy is
set by a country code or regional code manager.
The flip side of the argument might be to state that
there is nothing inherently wrong with granting
municipalities a top level domain. You can have
.berlin, .nyc, .saigon, .moscow and thousands of other
cities occupying space at the top level without
occasioning any harm.
The final decision that we make will set the pattern
for the future. On what principles shall we base our
selection criteria? We need a forward-going policy.
What will it be?
