.scot
A campaign by a group of Scots who believe that the Scots Community of Interest online, Scottish Culture and Scotland’s Languages should have the opportunity to be identified and enhanced by having its own sponsored community top-level domain (scTLD) on the Internet. Under a dotSCO sponsored TLD, those organisations, companies and individuals, throughout the world, that express themselves through Scotland’s languages online, or wish to support or identify with the Scottish Culture or the Scots online community around the world will be able to register a clearly identifiable domain name. DotSco has gathered support from across the globe from individual Scots, Scots societies and from speakers of Scots and Gaelic for the dotSCO campaign. They believe that they can raise the profile of Scots culture and communities around the world. The dotSCO campaign feels that the World Wide Web should be multi-national and a multilingual medium and that their culture should be represented. And that this opportunity (a new tld) will also play an important role in promoting further the use of the Scots and Gaelic languages on the World Wide Web as a modern medium of communication.
Consumer Benefits: People of Scottish descent (10 million)
