| Is this being requsted as a ccTLD or as gTLD? If ccTLD - it breaks the | existing model of ccTLDs limited to countries or islands and not | representing regions. This is just a manifestation of the European Union as a proper state, which obviously some people will accept with fewer reservations than others. If one can accept that the EU has competence in other international bodies as a state or state-like entity, then .EU as a ccTLD seems straightforward. Sean.
