.cl is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Chile. It was created in 1987 and is administered by the University of Chile. [2] [3] Registration of second-level domains under this TLD is open to anyone, as established by the current regulation for the operation of the Domain Name Registration .CL since December 2013, [4] which eliminated the requirement for foreign registrants to have a local contact with a RUN, the Chilean national identification number.
