Imagine our city without Zucotti Park, or any public park for that matter.
Imagine our city without any public spaces, public transportation, public education, law enforcement, sanitation; in other words a city that didn't serve the PUBLIC INTEREST. Today we have an entire city government to look out for public needs - 300,000 workers!
But if we're not careful, the public interest won't be served in the digital city that's arriving as soon as 2013 - the city created within the .nyc Top Level Domain, or TLD.
we might not have considering throwing away the PUBLIC INTEREST in developing planning to raise some quick needed cash for the city, and throw away the public completely . We need to get involved now in order for that not to happen.
There are only 43 more days before the city throws the public interest in the top level domain of .nyc away. And why?! Because we are not getting involved.
We need to get involved, to let New York City's government know what we, the people want to be able to do for ourselves, for our city and for other cities around the world, on our .nyc – New York City's TLD.
