[isoc-ny] Empowering New York City's Neighborhoods - Imagining New York City's Future - the .nyc TLD (New York, NY) - Meetup

[ISOC-NY announcements]

The deBlasio administration initiated a program to license operators of
385 neighborhood domain names - Astoria.nyc, Bensonhurst.nyc,
Corona.nyc, DUMBO, Elmhurst.nyc, Flatbush.nyc, GreenwichVillage.nyc,
Harlem.nyc...

On Tuesday, March 22 at 7 PM we're going to review that licensing
program and explore ways to connect the (potentially) 385 independent
operators of those domain names, enabling them to share ideas and best
practices.

Agenda:

o Update on the city’s licensing program for the neighborhood domain names.

o Hear the experiences and expectations of applicants for neighborhood
names.

o Discussion: What organizational structure will enable operators of
these “dotNeighborhoods” to share best practices and be represented
before city and other regulatory entities? How can these operations
collaborate to create open-source modules like bulletin boards,
neighborhood calendars, etc.?

Sponsors: Connecting.nyc Inc., The New York Internet Society.

What: Empowering Neighborhoods
Where: The Neighborhood Preservation Center, 232 East 11th Street
When: Tuesday, March 22, 7:00 - 8:30 PM
