The .cat TLD is a generic domain. Its policy has been developed by ICANN and Fundacio puntCAT. It was approved in September 2005. It is intended to be used to highlight Catalan language and culture.
The .cat domain is not territorial, but applies to the whole Catalan-speaking community, whether or not a site is based in the Catalan Countries. In order to be granted a .cat domain, one needs to belong to the Catalan linguistic and cultural community on the Internet. A person, organization or company is considered to belong if they:
* Already have contents in Catalan published online.
* Have access to a special code (sometimes called ENS), issued during special promotions or by agreements with certain institutions.
* Develop activities (in any language) to promote the Catalan culture and language.
* Are endorsed by 3 people or 1 institution already using a .cat domain name. |
