'''Dot Kiwi Ltd''' is the company behind the proposal for the [[.kiwi]] TLD within [[ICANN]]'s [[New gTLD Program]]. Dot Kiwi Ltd. was founded in 2012 by a  group of businessmen in New Zealand, and ex-pat New Zealanders based in Canada, whose aim is to create a unique national namespace while also giving back to the country by giving a percentage of revenue to the work of rebuilding the city of Christchurch, which was devastated by an earthquake in February, 2011. While [[.kiwi]] is technically a generic TLD, as it did not need the qualifications to require government support as [[GeoTLD]]s do, it is still a widely identified term for the people of New Zealand.<ref>[http://www.dot-kiwi.com/about-dot-kiwi/ The Dot Kiwi Story]</ref> <ref> [http://www.dot-kiwi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/PR-Set-for-kiwi-flavour.pdf Internet set to have a more Kiwi flavour]</ref>
