As a proponent of a TLD that will advance the social, economic, and
civic future of New York, I'm seeking a consensus approval for one
of the following:<br>
<ul>
<li>.newyork</li>
<li>.new-york</li>
<li>.nyc</li>
<li>.newyorkcity</li>
<li>.new-your-city</li>
</ul>
<p>There are advantages to each, and ".lincoln" issues will fit into
the decision, as do city and state cooperation. (For those outside
the region, the state of New York is the ruling entity that grants
the city of New York a measure of home rule. In matters of
taxation for example, the city must get the state's OK to raise
them. So .newyork would seem to be state leaning while
.newyorkcity city. But they've not yet spoken about the issue.
However, I was assured yesterday that they will have an
application in on January 12, and will get busy soon selecting a
contractor to assist with its preparation.)<br>

An example I've used in the past is .lincoln, where as well as
being a brand of automobile, it's a Cathedral City in the UK
(established since Roman times) and in USA the State Capital of
Nebraska. Plus dozens of others.
