If non-profit organizations are identified as “.org” on the Web, universities use “.edu.” and the military has “.mil,” why can’t Latinos have their own Internet suffix?
This is what a Latin American e-commerce group wants to achieve, and is now pushing for the creation of a suffix that “identifies the Latino community” … whatever that means.
As it turns out, the group known as the Electronic Commerce Federation for Latin America and the Caribbean (eCOM-LAC) has tapped Mexico City-based Nic Mexico for the (Herculean? ridiculous? nonsensical?) task.
And they are determined. The group will soon present a plan before the Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers.
I cannot wait for the resulting debate and discussions around the subject. What is it going to be? “.lat”? “.hisp”? “.latinos”? Are we going to include Brazilians of African-Portuguese origin? what about the French?
Ah! so many questions, so little to do!
