In some days, weeks or months it will be clear which domain represents the Townhall of Barcelona (Ajuntament de Barcelona) for obtaining the .BCN top level domain.
Meanwhile here I put a list of domains that I have found with the words dotbcn (English), puntbcn (Catalan) or puntobcn (Spanish).
As I write this some of these domains are mine ( www.dotbcn.com, www.puntbcn.com, www.puntobcn.com ) although I could give them to a foundation similar to the one we have for the .cat domain ( www.domini.cat ).
Be aware of the dates of registration. www.puntobcn.com.es was already registered in 2004 by a particular. www.puntobcn.es was already registered on June 13th 2008 by another particular. My domains followed suit on June 24th 2008. Since the beginning my domains showed content related to the .bcn top level domain.
It is about 5 months later that the Barcelona Townhall begins to register domains. First they register, www.puntbcn.org and www.puntbcn.cat ( quite correct politically, I find) on November 21st 2008.
And on November 27th 2008 they registered the following ones including a .eu one: www.puntobcn.eu
I wonder why they have not registered www.puntbcn.eu or www.dotbcn.eu too.
Here is the list I mention above:

Let’s see which domain or domains are finally chosen to represent the townhall .bcn candidacy.
Meanwhile here you have my image to show my preference for just one foundation for the .bcn and the .cat domain:

dotbcn // Novembre 30, 2008 a 10:39 am
As I imagine that my domains http://www.dotbcn.com, http://www.puntbcn.com and http://www.punto.com may become part of the townhall ones quite soon, I have registered for free http://www.dotbcn.tk, http://www.puntbcn.tk and http://www.puntobcn.tk
I imagine that the Ajuntament de Barcelona will want as many related domains to .bcn as possible but I just wonder which domain will the use to promote the .bcn candidacy.
http://www.dotbcn.com seems for me quite good if you want it to be easy for the international community. Like http://www.dotberlin.com, for example. On the other hand a http://www.puntbcn.cat seems much better if you want to be have more support from local people. So let’s see what happens …
