I was surprised to see .cern as a TLD - i would not expect it to need a family of websites in the way .gov or .mil do.

To be fair, if any org deserves a vanity TLD it's CERN

CERN is so big that they have their own IXP: https://cixp.net/

Also, the web was invented at CERN, so like the other comment said, if someone deserves at gTLD is them.

It's a brand gTLD, like .microsoft and .google. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generic_top-level_domain#Brand...
