The Conseil Général d'Ille et Vilaine (14 April 2006), the Conseil Régional de Bretagne (14 June 2006), the Conseil Général du Finistère (15 June 2006) unanimously supported the idea of creation of a .bzh. In 2007, the Regional Council of Brittany initiated a feasibility study of the project. Under the direction of a steering committee involving various stakeholders, in 2008 this study resulted in the establishment of a formal structure to support the Breton application: www.bzh. The www.bzh association was responsible for establishing the application, gathering the necessary funds to ensure its submission and its promotion within the Breton community. The association in December 2008 was granted financial support from the Conseil Régional de Bretagne. The online petition received more than 21,000 signatures. In 2014, the top-level domain .bzh was approved and is now used by a variety of individuals, groups and businesses that are located in Brittany or have links to the region. In 2023, the Breton internet extension .bzh had more than 12,000 registrations. Alongside the promotion of the .bzh internet extension, the www.bzh association promotes other services to develop Brittany's image on the web, including a campaign for a Breton flag emojihttps://www.economist.com/europe/2020/02/15/the-struggle-to-give-brittany-its-own-emoji The struggle to give Brittany its own emoji The Economist 6 February 2022 and an email service.https://www.ouest-france.fr/bretagne/postel-bzh-la-messagerie-creee-pour-les-bretons-c274fbe8-19fa-11ec-af4b-bea41043e391 Postel.bzh, la messagerie créée par des Bretons, pour les Bretons Ouest-France 21 September 2021 French 6 February 2022 See also List of Internet top-level domains Top-level domain References External links The initiative for .BZH The .BZH websites directory Proposed Category:Internet properties established in 2014 Category:Mass media in Brittany Category:2014 establishments in France Category:Internet in France Category:Generic top-level domains
