“languages without
social prestige will disappear”
Amadeu Abril i Abril [ from the successful .cat domain from
Catalonia ]
The
Association PuntuEus will be the one that will represent NABO
and other organizations (e.g., the Center for Basque Studies)
and individuals that have decided to support this petition
before ICANN. Their only goal is to achieve the domain .EUS for
the Basque cultural and linguistic community online. ICANN
allows the creation of the .EUS domain (e.g., in April 2006 the
Catalan community online obtained their own domain .CAT).
So, for example
euskaldiaspora.com could become euskaldiaspora.eus.
Having our own domain gives uniformity and a strong presence
online for homeland as well as for Diaspora associations.
The Association PuntuEus is non-partisan and is non-governmental.
It has been created by EiTB, the Basque Public TV and Radio,
UPV-EHU, the Basque Public University etc... You
can go to their website to show your support at
