Iraq Wants .iq TLD

Posted by michael on from the yourname@mensa.iq dept.

joelt49 writes "According to this USA Today article, via Yahoo! News, Iraq is seeking its own .iq Top-Level Domain (TLD). The Iraqi chairman of the National Communications & Media Commission, Siyamend Othman, said the .IQ domain name would allow Iraqis to stake a 'virtual flag' in the worldwide Internet community while American administrator Paul Bremer said it 'will signal to potential investors that Iraq is rebuilding for a high-technology future.' ICANN refuses to comment on specific applications, including this one."

    This registration for a guy in Richardson TX is legitimate. After all, Iraq did recently "join" the Imperial Republic of Texas.
