Sunjo:Before you sign the petition please read this https://batisteo.wordpress.com/2015/04/14/cu-esper...Maybe the required $185,000 could be crowdfunded through Kickstarter with an assertive campaign on FB and Twitter, but personnally I'd rather spend my money on something with a greater chance of boosting Esperanto's visibility.

My understanding is that you have to pay some kind of fee annually (to prevent squatters), which is not small. This would be a nice touch to Esperantujo, but probably not worth it.

Sunjo:Before you sign the petition please read this https://batisteo.wordpress.com/2015/04/14/cu-esper...I don't think those who are interested in a ".eo" domain name have read everything through. Well, one person on the petition page from Switzerland seems to have understood the situation, but other than that... Two-letter domains are the province of actual countries and actual countries only. If you follow the link in the letter sent to Batisteo you will find the following (emphasis mine):
IANA:For quite some time now, individual persons or organisations interested in obtaining their “own” TLD have been requesting the inclusion of “new” country names into ISO 3166-1 in order to get a new alpha-2 code element from the ISO 3166/MA and subsequently a ccTLD from ICANN. Such requests are absolutely futile, however, because the only way to enter a new country name into ISO 3166-1 is to have it registered in one of the following two sources:Sorry, everyone. Unless we're all planning on forming our own Esperanto-themed nation sometime soon and registering with the United Nations, even raising the required $185,000 wouldn't qualify anyone to create a ".eo" domain. It's a noble idea, but we're going to have to think of something else. A ".esperanto" domain would work, if someone were willing to put up the cash and host the thing (yes, someone needs the hardware to do it). I just don't see that happening any time soon, though. If I ever win the lottery, I'll consider it, okay?

The exception to that would be if you could get several sites using the domain maybe even get Lernu to point to a domain like lernu.eo then more people might be willing to get involved.

Christa627:There are some two-letter domains that aren't for geographical locations, aren't there?All two-letter top-level domains are country codes (ccTLD). For example tv is Tuvalu, be as in youtu.be is Belgium.
The generic TLDs (gTLD) are three letters of more.
So if someone wants to start a petition, they should aim for epo and not eo.
Catalans got there cat domain, so maybe Esperantists will get their epo. But surely not eo.
