.gal is a proposed top level domain name (TLD) for the Galician language and culture by Asociación puntoGAL to ICANN's New gTLD Program. As registry operator for the TLD, the organization aims to establish an online space and promote an online identity for the Galician people and to be able to share their culture and language globally. The application for the .gal TLD is supported by more than 13,000 individuals and numerous organizations.Manuel González is the President of the organization.[1]
It can be seen as building upon the success of .cat as an extension for the Catalan community, which was introduced in 2005. It is being applied for by The Asociación puntoGAL; members of the association include the most authoritative Galician language authority, The Real Academia Galega (RAG). Registrants will be required tos tate their intended use for the domain; a false statement is grounds for removal of the domain and of future participation in the community TLD.[2]
