.LAT to become the new Internet Domain Extension for Latinos

Filed under: Registries, General Chief Editor at 9:53 pm on Thursday, November 15, 2007
Río de Janeiro, Brazil, November 14th of 2007 - It is official! eCOM-LAC and NIC Mexico, the organizations in charge of pursuing the Internet domain name for Latinos, announced that .LAT as the extension to identify this new domain.

The decision for the extension .LAT was made in order to identify, differentiate and add value to the Internet resources related with Latinos; since their culture goes beyond geographical boundaries and they want to identify their cultural, social and business expressions.

The name .LAT, explains itself, since it is immediately associated with the Latin community, making easier the promotion and global recognition for Latinos in Internet.

With the definition of .LAT, eCOM-LAC and NIC Mexico have moved a step forward in the pursuit of the creation of an Internet domain name for the Latin community and to fulfill their commitment to promote the growth of Internet in Latin America.

Therefore both organizations will continue working in order to develop and present the application for .LAT to ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), who will analyze and rule on this proposal during the last quarter of 2008.

As of today, Latin America in Internet = .LAT, and those who share the Latin Culture must be proud and pleased about this fact.
