Hello. The local flamenco group in Beijing are some people who simply
meet around once a month or so, and does nothing more than dancing and
drinking/talking, at least at the moment is like this. The people here
wish to register a domain name to run a website of the people's blog and
photos of events.

We thought of www.flamenco.org.cn first, but it's a bit too wide
(cn=China), yet register a .org.cn require a politically-correct entity
existing in China, where we don't have an entity and not even a
well-recognized leader, not even a formal name for the group yet. Thus
we must avoid .org.cn domain names.

I hope there is a convention somewhere to follow to name new community
website. How about flamencobeijing.org? What would other community
choose for their website?

Thanks in advance!

Best.

A few reference notes of how others decide their domain names:

San Francisco Bay Area
-> www.sfflamenco.com and www.bayareaflamenco.com

The Flamenco Society of San José
-> www.theflamencosociety.org

Seattle Flamenco Community
-> www.seattleflamenco.org

My decision:
-> www.beijingflamenco.org

Hola! Sounds like you have a nice Peña Flamenca happening in Beijing.
I hope it succeeds. How about www.beijingpeñaflamenca or www.peñabeijing.
Would it be too difficult to include the 'ñ'? Or how about
www.beijingflamencoclub? Or maybe www.juergabeijing? Or www.fiestabeijing?

Good luck,
Un saludo,
Tomás
