Prototypical answer:

* Clearly delineated and pre-existing *


The Tirol Community is clearly delineated, well organized, and pre-existing. TIROL (English: Tyrol) is a federal state (Bundesland) in western Austria. It comprises the Austrian part of the historic Princely County of TIROL, corresponding with the present-day Euroregion Tyrol–South Tyrol–Trentino. The capital of TIROL is Innsbruck. With a land area of 12,647.71 km2 (4,883.31 sq mi), it is the third largest state in Austria.

North Tirol borders on the federal state of Salzburg in the east and on Vorarlberg in the west, in the north it adjoins the German state of Bavaria, and in the south Italian Trentino-Alto Adige region (South Tyrol) as well as the Swiss canton of Graubuenden. East Tirol also borders on the federal state of Carinthia in the east and on the Italian Province of Belluno (Veneto) in the south.

The stateʹs territory is entirely located in the Eastern Alps at the important Brenner Pass. The highest mountain in the state is the Grossglockner within the Hohe Tauern range at the border with Carinthia, with an elevation of 3,797 m (12,457.35 ft.) it is also the highest mountain of Austria.

The Commmunity for the .TIROL top-level domain has been defined together with federal and regional officials and is in the own sovereign discretion of the Federal State of TIROL. Since .TIROL is intended to serve the Community of the Tirolers worldwide, the group of eligible registrants is limited. Exclusively eligible to register a domain name under the top-level domain .TIROL is any natural person, legal person, organization or association of persons, if they can demonstrate an economic, cultural, touristical, historical, social or any other connection to the Austrian Federal State of Tirol.

By this the .TIROL Community is delineated clearly from Internet users generally, since the government of the Federal State of Tirol has decided that the definition above reflects a clear and exclusive approach towards a Community definition which can not be overruled by any other institution worldwide. By this definition the individuals and entities named above are naturally members of the .TIROL Community.
