FYI, the plan brought to New York City Council Speaker Quinn's attention for her speech, and referenced by Crain's (and other press) is the one presented by me (at the 1:24:35 mark) in testimony after Tom Lowenhaupt's lengthy exposition and directly after Paul Garrin's contentious testimony. The YouTube version (fast forwarding possible) is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TA1pLg1eM6A I am trying to get a video of Speaker Quinn's speech and will post it when I get it on http://www.dotnyc.net and send a link here. Antony P.S. Many thanks to Joly for getting this on tape. On Feb 13, 2009, at 7:05 PM, WWWhatsup wrote:

City Council Speaker Christine Quinn announced during her state-of-the-city address Thursday that the “.nyc” domain will start generating a fresh stream of revenue for the city next summer. dotNYC, a private group, has asked the city to let it sell Web addresses such as www.GrimaldisPizza.nyc or www.EmpireStateBuilding.nyc for about $10 a pop to people, corporations and small businesses. In return, the company would give the city one-third of the domain's profits. However, a city spokesman says officials have not yet chosen a partner for the project. The city may decide to send out a request for proposals. http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20090212/SMALLBIZ/902129975
