How about .biblio for libraries?: New domains

mdoneil writes ”
Well another top-level domain is being established and two are in the works. Professionals (currently doctors, lawyers, engineers and architects but sadly not librarians) will be the users allowed by .pro.


Two new domains were given provisional approval by ICANN. A travel domain .travel and a postal domain .post have passed scrutiny and are well on their way to being active TLDs.


Off the top of your head can you name the 10 global TLDs? Or is .com the only one you can think of just now? Do you know the one for airlines and related organizations, how about the one for credit unions and the like, or the one for museums?


For a complete list thank the fine folks in Norway at Norid. You will find all of the TLDs there including the more than 200 country specific ones.”

    no .biblio please (maybe .lib)
    While I wouldn’t mind a library specific gTLD, but I dislike the idea of any longer then 3 characters. It gets too clumsy.

    BTW: I did look over the gTLD list you mentioned and the only one I wasn’t aware was .coop. Not sure how I missed that one.
