NIC-Mexico, the domain registry for .mx, announced that the Latin American and Caribbean Federation for Internet and E-Commerce (eCOM-LAC), has selected it as partner to pursue the creation of an Internet domain for the Latin community.

eCOM-LAC and NIC Mexico will pursue the creation of an Internet domain name for Latinos, therefore in the next months both organizations will concentrate efforts to accomplish all the necessary tasks in order to develop and present a proposal to ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers), who will analyze and rule on this proposal.

“The creation of a Top Level Domain for Latinos represents a great benefit for those who share the Latin culture, allowing to identify resources of specific interest for the Latin community and helping to promote our language, culture and businesses to the entire world”, commented Oscar Robles.
