A Kurdish company has recently applied for the domain .KURD or .KUR generic Top Level Domain in order to represent the 35 million of Kurdish people who live around the world. This happened after ICANN started to take applications for new gTLDs, as informed in Domain Incite.
The vast majority of those 35 million Kurdish people live in Iran and Iraq, but there are also around 14 million Kurdish people living in Turkey.
The Kurdish society has been demanding the .KU domain during a long time, but this is a thing that was never expected to come true. Some other non-state organizations have received their own TLD as for instance the catalan community with the .CAT or the Palestinian one, which has a domain reserved by the ICANN, as well as an international telephone code, just in case they may need it in the future.
The .KURD / .KUR proposal is being driven by Aras Noori, a German citizen. Noori wrote to ICANN's CEO and president Rod Beckstrom in April 2010 applying for for either .KURD or .KUR intended to use by the the Kurdish community. Noori declared that they have not decided which gTLD to apply for yet.
Noori also wrote that "a domain extension for the Kurdish people has been a dream of many communities like ZKURD , KurdITgroup , KOSC and others. We, with support of many Kurdish groups and communities are committed in making a domain extension available for Kurd people."
You can find more info about the proposal at their official website: www.dotkurd.org.
