Remark: The mission of the proposed gTLD is to serve the Breton community (…) defined by all the people who feel attached to Brittany, its culture and its languages and who wish to display this attachment by using a domain name. Brittany is a western region of France with a specific culture and history, including two local languages (Breton and Gallo), and a strong identity. The members of the community are, first and foremost, the inhabitants of the cultural and linguistic Breton area (4,441,000 people in 2009) and its diaspora (between 4 and 6 million people), established across the globe, and in particular in France. The Breton language (brezhoneg in Breton) is one of the six Celtic languages still spoken in Europe alongside Welsh and Cornish ... The .bzh TLD is a so-called “community-based” Top Level Domain (TLD). Domain names under these TLDs may only be registered by a limited group of registrants and are subject to special conditions of use. To register (or renew) a .bzh domain name, applicants must in particular substantiate: • a place of residence, headquarters or office located in Brittany (Côtes d’Armor, Ille-et-Vilaine, Finistère, Morbihan, Loire-Atlantique), or • significant and original content of the website devoted to Brittany and the Breton culture, at most six (6) months after the allocation of the domain name, or • a significant and original part of the website in the Breton or Gallo language, at most six (6) months after the allocation of the domain name, or • regular membership of Association http://www.bzh, which gathers representatives of the linguistic and cultural community. Priority Ranking System: Four (4) categories of applications with prior rights will be accepted simultaneously and will be allocated according to the hierarchy of priority status of each category. 1. Priority 1 Category: TMCH-validated trademarks. The trademarks have to be valid in France for at least 6 months. 2. Priority 2 Category: Local trademarks = non TMCH-validated trademarks with effect in France (i.e. French trademarks, EU Community trademarks and WIPO International trademarks registered in France). The trademarks have to be valid in France for at least 6 months. 3. Priority 3 Category: Geographical indications with effect in France, recognized by International treaties, EU regulations or French legislation. 4.
