That Asociación puntoGAL are from Spain. It will be for sites with content in galician, a lenguage with common roots with portuguese. It is usually funded with public funds and at the end it is used for the politic photo/propaganda.

Here in Spain we have .cat for catalonian too. There were some blogs on .cat that moved to .com because, you know, they wanted to be found and read.
