Juan Diego Calle became involved with [[.co]] in 2006; at that point it was still undergoing governmental processes examining the possibility of liberalizing Colombia's [[ccTLD]], .co, so it could be registered by the international public as an [[Open ccTLD]]. In 2009, Juan and the newly created partnership with [[Neustar]], [[.co Internet|.co Internet S.A.S]], presented a 1,650 page bid to the Colombian government to operate the [[ccTLD]]. In August of that year they were awarded a 10 year contract to act as the registry administrator, beating out big players such as [[VeriSign]].<ref>[http://www.huffingtonpost.com/shane-snow/how-to-become-an-internet_b_705175.html HuffingtonPost]</ref> There bid was seriously helped by Mr. Calle's strong ties to his native country, Colombia.<ref>[http://www.thedomains.com/2010/05/16/everything-you-ever-wanted-to-know-about-co-our-exclusive-interview-with-the-ceo-juan-calle/ The Domains.com]</ref>

Juan became aware of the possible liberalization of the .co ccTLD from a friend; and given that Juan was working as a [[domainer]] at that time, he understood that [[.com]] was a limited resource, and that the Internet community needed another strong location to grow into.<ref>[http://www.dnjournal.com/cover/2010/november-december.htm DNJournal]</ref>
