So, for all those who've not been following us around like a good pup on a leash, dotmeow is our effort to give queer run infrastructure a name: A gTLD you can get your domain name behind (or well, rather in front, depending on how you look)!
Unfortunately, the path to a new gTLD like .meow takes humans (some of us are certified!), time and money. Running a TLD does, too! But often, registries pocket a good deal of the money they receive [[citation-needed]] when you rent a domain at a registrar. Our goal is different: After covering the costs, we want to use the money to help queer organizations. So owning a .meow domain makes you automatically support queer activists around the globe!

Second, all of this is supposed to be as grassroots as possible in the tight corset of ICANN rules etc. So *you* can get involved too (more details on that soon to come!). Because queer infrastructure ought to be in queer hands. And we don't know many folx queerer than you lot!

@dotmeow Might it be confused with the existing .cat?
