Lesson plan
Blå
.bl is an unused Internet country code top-level domain reserved for Saint Barthélemy, an overseas collectivity of France located in the Leeward Islands of the northeastern Caribbean. In September 2007, a decision by the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency assigned BL as the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code for Saint Barthélemy which resulted in the domain being allocated. This domain has been officially recognized by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority since October 2007, yet it remains inactive within the Domain Name System root zone and has never been delegated to a registry operator. Local entities instead rely on France's national domain, .fr, and Guadeloupe's domain, .gp.
