'''.eus''' is a new [[gTLD|generic top level domain name]] (gTLD) proposal to the [[New gTLD Program]] of the [[ICANN|Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers]] by [[PuntuEus Association]]. The organization is dedicated to representing, preserving and promoting the endangered Basque language & culture by establishing its own online space and to serve as the registry operator of the TLD. <ref>[http://www.icann-studienkreis.net/iratxe.pdf The Basque Language and Culture on the Internet]</ref> <ref>[http://www.puntueus.org/en/news/presentation-of-the-puntueus-association/ Presentation of the PuntuEus Association]</ref>

It seems to be following the success of [[.cat]] as an [[sTLD]] for the Catalan community. "Eus is the contraction of “Euskara”, which means “basque language” in Basque." The organization has the written support of a wide-range of Basque centric entities. Puntueus Fundazioa plans to restrict registration to legitimate and well-inteioned actors within the Basque cultural-linguistic community; It will first seek out prominent entities in the community prior to general launch, and post general launch it will "[require registrants] to state their intended use of the registered domain name. A false statement of intended use is an indication of bad faith and can be the basis for the suspension of the domain name."<ref>Application 1-1293-15788</ref>

At General Availability, community nexus is subject to post-validation by way of an extensive compliance program based on the same criteria that form the basis of the TLD: language and culture. The ongoing compliance program will regularly be adapted to current needs based on experience and audit findings. Community nexus validation combined with strong protection of trademarks helps stamp out cybersquatting and abusive registrations."<Ref>[http://gtldresult.icann.org/application-result/applicationstatus/applicationdetails/1055 Application Download, gTLDresult.ICANN.org] Retrieved 20 Feb 2013</ref>
