History

Usage and Audience
- Primary audience:
- Residents of Corsica
- Businesses and organizations based in Corsica
- Individuals and entities that identify with or promote Corsican culture, heritage and services
- The TLD is positioned as a cultural/territorial namespace linking sites to Corsican identity.
Registration Rules
- The original application did not set out firm registration policies.
- The applicant (CTC) committed to creating a charter prior to implementation:
- The charter would be developed with input from AFNIC and a third-party consultant.
- It would be subject to approval by the Corsican parliament.
- The stated aim was to balance openness (to encourage legitimate registrations) with restrictions and safeguards to prevent abusive behaviour.
- The charter was to include procedures for dispute resolution over domain names.
