Bangkok has joined the growing list of potential applicants for generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) when ICANN calls for applications with a proposal for DotBKK.

The proposal follows the model of several other potential CityTLDs and offers to distribute a substantial portion of their profits to the community partner for Bangkok City’s benefit. They also propose to provide all city agencies and departments with free .BKK domain names, to implement policies to protect trademarks and ensure .BKK addresses are used responsibly.

The proposal is quite new with not much information yet available, but for more information see www.dotbkk.com.
