I'm really curious what this little survey is really up to.
hi, a 2009 law forced any italian public administration to acquire a domain name under the SLD .gov.it. instead, last february 2018 the italian digital agency (at the prime minister's office) determined that the domain name SLD .gov.it was dedicated to the exclusive use of the central government by premising that: 'the second level domain (SLD) ".gov", when used, identifies only the administrations within the EU and the USA (as the first level) central government, with the exception of the United Kingdom, and not without distinction any central and local public administration including educational institutions (for which the SLD ".edu" is used) as is the case today in Italy.' so now it happens that tens of thousands of institutions must abandon, by 2018, the domain name * .gov.it with the imaginable amount of issues that will last over time and with a series of unexpected costs. I would just like to clarify whether it is true that among the EU countries the SLD .gov.it is used EXCLUSIVELY for central government departments. at the moment it seems that: .gov.ie --> central .go(u)v.fr --> central .gov.gr --> central .gov.hu --> central .gov.uk --> central and local .gov.pl --> central and local .gov.tr --> central and local .gov.it --> central and local (to cancel local by the end of 2018) .gov.nl --> neither central nor local .gov.se --> neither central nor local .gov.de --> neither central nor local thank you -- antonio
