A Revised Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : New Registries and the Delegation of International Top Level Domains Author(s) : J. Postel Filename : draft-postel-iana-itld-admin-02.txt Pages : 32 Date : 08/21/1996 This document describes a policy, procedure, and control structure for the allocation of additional top-level domains The Appendix A.1 of this document discusses the issues surrounding additional international top level domains (iTLDs) and registries. This document describes policies and procedures to o allow open competition in domain name registration in the iTLDs, o and provide the IANA with a legal and financial umbrella Note that while cooperation between competing iTLD registries is allowed, it is not required. This is specifically not assumed in this proposal, and is considered to be an operational aspect of a registry best determined, and coordinated, by contractual agreements between private interests.

Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-postel-iana-itld-admin-02.txt". NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. For questions, please mail to Internet-Drafts@ietf.org Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
