<tt>It's been suggested that city-TLDs, such as .nyc, .london,
.mumbai, and .paris, are “open greenfields for new local
governance structures.” And that they would most effectively serve
the public interest if developed as digital commons. <br>
<br>
How do we advance the idea that city-TLDs - and especially .nyc -
are best developed as public interest resources? <br>
<br>
David Bollier, an important voice for the commons - <a

weekly Tea and TLDs conference to imagine a governance structure
that best assures a city-TLD's equitable development and long term
vitality.<br>
<br>
Join us this Thursday from 10-11 AM at our Google Hangout - <a
