'''.tirol''' is a new [[GeoTLD]] and [[Community TLD|Community Priority Application]] proposed by Punkt Tirol GmbH to [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]] for Tirol, Federal State of Austria. [[Nic.at]] was selected by Punkt Tirol GmbH to provide back-end registry solutions for the .tirol domain space.<ref>[http://www.nic.at/en/uebernic/press/press_releases/news_view/article/91/wien-tirol-und-brussels-entscheiden-sich-fuer-nicat-technologie/ .wien, .tirol and .brussels all choose nic.at technology]</ref>

'''.tirol''' will be independent top-level domain of the Community of Tirolers worldwide on the Internet. The regional domain names available with the .tirol [[TLDtop-level domain]] are concise and create an identity for citizens, companies and institutions. Those providing and looking for information, goods and services in and on Tirol can thus intuitively come together. The .tirol domain names should strengthen the feeling of community amongst Tirolers, improve communication and make interaction easier, thus providing a stimulus for innovation and development. Hopefully, Tirol will become more  attractive as a region to visit, as a commercial location, and as a place to live.<ref>User Submitted. 13 November 2012</ref>

Along with TLDs such as [[.osaka]] and [[.paris]], .tirol falls into the new category of [[GeoTLD]]s. The issue of new top level domains in general, and .tirol in particular, has been discussed at various ICANN-Meetings since 2005.
