Everyone can spell it and it sums up the purpose and aim of the Confucius institutes - propagate the Chinese language and culture world wide - insinuating that this is feasible and accessible. Confucius need not necessarily shine up in the name of the site - there are other ways and means to tell Google the right paths to this site ... Why not

www.whynotchinese.edu ?

Everyone can spell it and it sums up the purpose and aim of the Confucius institutes - propagate the Chinese language and culture world wide - insinuating that this is feasible and accessible.

Confucius need not necessarily shine up in the name of the site - there are other ways and means to tell Google the right paths to this site …

It should be the equivalent to the British Institute or the Instituto Cervantes. I don´t think that the website should have any other name than the brand itself. It is then up to the marketing team to fill it with value and meaning. I agree that .net, .com or .org provide a more institutional image.

Like trying to set up a meeting it's nearly impossible to get concensus and eventually you just have to do it. Eventually, people will adjust and begin to wonder what all the fuss had been about to begin with. I would suggest though that the extension should be .edu, this is universally recognized as indicating a website focused on education. While it's most ofter used in the United States by universities and colleges there is no restriction that I know of to other educational venues using it. It's also not absolutely necessary to have a single web name. The organization I work for went through a name change several years ago, People can still reach us through our old web address and several variants of our past and current name.

That's what I planned to type before I realized I had to pick from a menu. It combines the old with the new and suggests on-line learning. I like Pedro’s tongue-in-cheek ConfuciusPod.com.
