.berlin (dotBERLIN) is a proposed new top level domain (TLD). It is a Sponsored top-level domain intended to be a top level domain for Berliners.

According to the dotBERLIN organization .berlin will allow all Berliners to register their domains under .berlin [cite web|url=http://www.circleid.com/posts/87239_global_city_top_level_domains/|title=New Paper Discusses Global City TLD’s in the Public Interest]

Along with TLDs such as .cat, .asia and .eu, .berlin and other proposed TLDs fall into the new category of GeoTLDs. The issue of new top level domains in general and .berlin in particular has been discussed at [http://gsa.icann.org/search?q=dotberlin&site=icann&client=icann&proxystylesheet=icann&output=xml_no_dtd various] ICANN-Meetings since 2005. [ [http://www.citytld.com/literature.htm cityTLD Literature] ]

A rationale offered by proponents of the .berlin proposal is as follows:

:".berlin is the independent top-level domain of the community of Berliners in the Internet. The local addresses available with this are concise and create an identity for citizens, companies and institutions. Those providing and looking for information, goods and services can thus intuitively come together. The .berlin domains strengthen the feeling of community amongst Berliners, improve communication and make interaction easier, thus providing a stimulus for innovation and development. Both for Berliners and for non-Berliners, places called Berlin become more attractive as a place to visit, as a commercial location and as a place to live."
