Please vote in our poll to gain requests to propose to ICANN to introduce the .NA domain TLD for North America continent, such as how they have .ASIA and .EU for Asia and Europe continents.

.NA TLD Please - Vote Here

It would be a monumental failure as was .eu and .asia

No body wanted them with the exception of the registry running them.


Its kind of like the Edsel and Yugo automobiles. Just because you build them does not mean people are going to buy them.

Look guys, I proposed .na for North America several years ago. As an e-business owner, I'd much rather target a continent than a country by using country codes. Also, there is no doubt that Google treats country-specific domain extensions differently than .com domains for example. A .in domain does better ranking on Google.in for example than google.com search rankings.

Continent specific extensions can also ally with related continent extensions for a broader audience, such as .na and a .eu domain integration alliance where both can rank well for each other's audience. Do you understand what I am saying? ccTLDs are good, but not good enough. ccTLDs should be for county-specific organizations etc. Continent-specific with alliances could really help e-businesses be able to target a specific range of audience, such as mine - an American based online business in which I want to target only to North America and Europe. I'd love the .na availability and the ability to have it ally with .eu as well.

.na <--> .eu
.eu <--> .na
.sa <--> .eu

etc

What about .world or .earth so you got all continents covered.
You can come up with the most ridiculous TLDs you like, acceptance cannot be forced on the public. The .eu/.asia debacles clearly demonstrate that.
ccTLDs are the present and the future.

Is this a publicity stunt ? You did not even research existing extensions.

I have a few suggestions. Any investors in the following?

.biblebelt
.westcoast
.iberia
.greatlakesstates
.mediterranean
.flyoverstates

Actually, all of these are better than North American, because nobody identifies themselves as North American.
