I cannot understand why we are discussing the abbreviation and the
countries that may or may not participate. I haven't seen anyone
explaining so far, why we should have *any* ccTLD for an entity that is
not a country. All I have read are marketing slogans, like "competition",
"global", "unity" etc.
Could someone, please, explain to my little brain:
1. Why we need a .eu? What is wrong with eu.int for the European
Commission and its institutions?
2. How it can be a ccTLD?
3. Can other organizations of countries also apply for a ccTLD? Say OPEC?
Thanks.
