Isn't .sco being specifically proposed for the Scots language, rather than Scotland? Grinner 15:45, 16 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Mmmm... their mission statement is a bit ambiguous:
  • "Because the Scots language and culture is a community that we believe should be identified with its own domain on the internet. Under a .SCO domain those organisations, companies and people that express themselves in the Scots language and/or wish to encourage Scots culture will be able to be registered and will be clearly identifiable."
The all-encompassing word "culture" would tend to imply just about anything associated with the nation of Scotland; after all, a nation is definied by its characteristic culture. But I must admit that I do find the repeated mentions of the Scots language, and absence of the other two languages (Scottish English and Scottish Gaelic language) a bit odd. Must be something to do with the methods used by .cat to win their campaign?--Mais oui! 16:37, 16 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Aye, I think that's about right. I will atempt a slight re-write (utilising quite a bit of what you just wrote!) Grinner

There's also http://www.dotcym.org/ who want .cym for Welsh. Is this notable enough to have a page, do you think? The Wednesday Island 13:53, 18 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'd say so, yes. Go ahead and write .cym! ;)Nightstallion (?) 11:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
