By my reckoning (i.e., looking at Kickstarter), it looks like @dotmeow just crossed the finish line!

I'm showing €80,211 out of €80,000 required!

paco.meow here I come!

And there's still more than 30 days to go way past the minimum.

@paco @dotmeow There’s the up-front costs for getting the gTLD, but then it’s something like USD $25k per year to maintain, isn’t it? Is the group setting up something for recurring donations, or will the cost of registrations/renewals cover the regular ICANN fees and infrastructure costs?

@paco @dotmeow I do like how they’re planning to funnel the profits directly into queer community causes, though. Best of luck to them!
