Domain .barcelona - New TLDs

Barcelona is a global metropolis, influencing the world’s perception of education, arts, music, economy, and sports. As a way to strengthen the brand of Barcelona in the Web marketplace, .BARCELONA offers a specifically tailored TLD option for the people, government, businesses, and non-profits in this beautiful Mediterranean city. .BARCELONA helps the people of Barcelona create a community network while simultaneously increasing outreach in the global trade, import, and export sectors.

Registrant must be an individual or a legal entity with a nexus to the community on a linguistic, cultural, tourism, commercial basis, or any other activity conducive to the welfare of the .barcelona community.

Register applicants must explain the use they intend to make of the name of the registered domain. A false declaration of intended use is a sign of bad faith and may lead to the domain name being suspended.

Once registered, the ".barcelona" domain name must be capable of demonstrating for the rest of its life that none of the above-mentioned negative aspects applies. Community ties are subject to subsequent validation under an extensive plug-in programme that is based on the same criteria as the TLD.

The strength of the validation has to be in accordance with the importance of the underlying domain name, based on what an average user would reasonably do in the context of this domain name.

The ".barcelona" general registry regulations shall apply to all aspects of the registration, even where they are not specifically provided for in these launch regulations.
