Dear Friends,

As you may already know, e-flux is currently applying for the rights to
administer .Art, one of many forthcoming top-level domain names that ICANN
(Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers) is releasing with the
hope of broadening the namespace of the internet and making it more
legible.

Visit www.artdomaincommunity.com to learn more about our vision for the
domain, the issues involved, and what is at stake for the art community.
The top-level domains will bring the internet into a completely new era,
and this means that managing the .Art domain will be a massive
responsibility with few historical precedents. We can’t do it without
you—visit our discussion board to contribute your ideas on what you think
the domain of art on the internet should and could be.
Among the many parties that have applied to administer .Art, e-flux is the
only one that represents a vast community of people who make, study, and
present art to the global public—and we need your support! To grant the
domains, ICANN needs to hear from the community of people who gather around
these names.

Between now and August 12, you can submit a public comment to ICANN to say
why you think e-flux deserves this opportunity. The comments will be
considered by independent evaluators and will make a
real difference. Your endorsement comment can include your name, a link,
and a little bit about you or your organization. It could also be a short
note on how and why e-flux has been important over the years to you, as an
artist, curator, organization, writer, thinker, lover, or practitioner of
art.

Thank you!

e-flux


P.S. We are profoundly thankful for the numerous endorsements and letters
of support we have received so far from museums, art centers, independent
and artist-run spaces, academies, publications, galleries, international
professional associations, and individual artists, curators, and criti
