The Swiss city of Basel has joined the growing list of cities to express an interest in applying for its city name as a Top Level Domain when ICANN asks for applications, possibly in 2011. The city government for Basel is currently looking at the economics of such an application, whether .BASEL would benefit the city and whether there is community support. The canton government has called a meeting in early May with groups such as the Chamber of Commerce, trade associations, tourism groups, the city’s university and other groups who could possibly interested in such a proposal.
