City-TLD info

Where can one find info on city TLDs?

One of the better sources for city TLD info can be found on the wiki maintained by Connecting.nyc Inc., the NYS not-for-profit created to advance the concept of a public interest TLD for the city of New York.

The genesis of Connecting.nyc's work was an Internet Empowerment Resolution passed by Queens Community Board 3 in April 2001. (Community Boards are the grassroots governance level in New York City.)

The undersigned Introduced the Internet Empowerment Resolution and is the founding director of Connecting.nyc.
