IntraNIC Domain Policies
Definitions
- "TLD" means a Top Level Domain, such as .AN
- A "defunct" TLD is any TLD that does not have a functional resolving public DNS server, functional registration website, or other technical issues which render second level domains from being registered or resolved.
- A "deligated" TLD is a Top Level Domain that is under the control of an entity, whether a person, company, or organization.
Section 1. - Top Level Domains
- Once a TLD has been deligated by IntraNIC, it will not be relinquished if ICANN deligates the same TLD.
- A TLD that has become defunct will either be removed from the root, or have control transferred to either IntraNIC or another organization with the capacity to maintain it.
Section 2. - Domain Registration
- Domains may not be held by domain campers. Any person holding an unused domain will either voluntarily relinquish it, or have it's registration revoked.
- Domains used by spammers, hackers, or used for other malicious purposes are not permitted. Such domains will be forfeited.
- Domain registrants of IntraNIC controlled domains shall have the right to privacy of personal information. WHOis servers are not permitted to publish contact information or personal information.
Section 3. - Peering
- An organization wishing to peer top level domains should have basic infrastructure in place, including a registration page for domains.
Section 4. - Addition of TLDs
- Organizations must provide all infrastructure for their TLD, including name resolution, domain registration, and support.
- Organizations with TLDs resolved through IntraNIC servers must adhere to all IntraNIC policies, and must ensure Second Level Domain registrations adhere to Section 2.
- While not a requirement, organizations should offer a public DNS resolver of the IntraNIC root.
