20(d) Explain the relationship between the applied-for gTLD string and the community identified in 20(a)

Prototypical answer:

There is a clear relationship between the applied-for .art gTLD string and the community identified in the answer to question 20(a) above. The international art community experiences a dramatically uneven distribution of resources, both in financial support and in terms of access, visibility, and exposure. The TLD would serve as a leveling mechanism to assert that, while arts initiatives in disparate locations may differ greatly in scale and means available to them, they in fact share a common purpose and inhabit the same sphere.

The .art gTLD is identical to the established name of the community. Hence there is a clear relationship to the established name of the community. Furthermore, the .art gTLD will also allow members of the art community to show their relationship to the community through the use of the .art gTLD.

ʺ.art,ʺ in the context of Applicantʹs and the Community’s usage, is a dictionary word and describes the result of creativity, products or services rendered by members of the art community.
