- known, of the administrative head of the organization.
- Alternately, the person's name, title, mailing address, phone
- number, organization, and network mailbox. This is the contact
- point for administrative and policy questions about the domain. In
- the case of a research project, this should be the principal
- investigator.

- that will be used in tables and lists associating the domain with

- to cope with.)

-
- 5) A description of the servers that provide the domain service for
- translating name to address for hosts in this domain, and the date
- they will be operational.
-
- A good way to answer this question is to say "Our server is
- supplied by person or company X and does whatever their standard
- issue server does".
-
- For example: Our server is a copy of the server operated by
- the NIC, and will be installed and made operational on
- 1-November-84.
-
- (6) Domains must provide at least two independent servers for the
