.bi is the
Internet country code top-level domain (
ccTLD) for
Burundi. It is administered by the Burundi National Center of Information Technology.The registry site states that ".BI Registry has a rather liberal policy about domain names as soon as the domain name is in relation with the business name or one of its marks. The general principle is that a domain must reflect the truth." Registrations are open to anybody worldwide, but are not supposed to be registered or used for misleading purposes, though apparently no pre-screening is done to ensure this. The site also states that "We strongly discourage the use of suffixes of our country for misleading people. We remind that .bi stands for Republic of Burundi and for nothing else." This is apparently intended to discourage the "repurposing" of .bi as has been done with other ccTLDs (such as
.tv for "television" and
.la for Los Angeles), or the use in "
domain hacks" where the TLD becomes part of a word or phrase (as in
del.icio.us). Use of "bi" in the sense of
bisexuality is likely the sort of thing they are aiming to prevent, though it is unclear whether there have been any actual uses of the ccTLD in this manner. There does not seem to be very much use at all, either within or outside Burundi, despite the liberal registration policy.
