With the arrival of the .nyc TLD (like .com and .org but just for New York City), we’ll will soon have the capacity to create neighborhood media centers such as astoria.nyc, brooklyn-heights.nyc, clinton.nyc, greenwich-village, harlem.nyc, etc.
Come hear about this new development that promises to strengthen city neighborhoods. Join us in imagining ways these sites can help neighbors locate and talk to one another about the problems and opportunities that affect them. Help decide who will operate them, the sites’ content requirements and collaboration tools, and the appropriate oversight and accountability.
The event is sponsored by Connecting.nyc Inc., the NYS not-for-profit created to guide the .nyc TLD’s acquisition and development.

When, Where… The Neighborhood Preservation Center, 232 East 11th Street, NY 10003. Wednesday, May 6, 6-8 PM. We’ve seating for 20. RSVP to tom@connectingnyc.org.
