- GENERAL PROCEDURE
-
- - The administrator of each of these organization will process domain
- applications from his/her members and forward them to the NIC
- (HOSTMASTER@NIC.DDN.MIL) in groups. The NIC will provide a
- special form for this process online in
- NETINFO:ALTERNATE-DOMAIN-TEMPLATE.TXT. This template can be FTPed
- by the administrator, or Hostmaster can send it via electronic
- mail. The application form in the online file
- NETINFO:BITNET-DOMAIN-TEMPLATE.TXT is available for BITNET users.
-
- - The NIC will check for domain name conflicts and notify the
- administrators in case of conflicts.
-
- - If the names are valid, the NIC will generate name server records
- for each of the new domains.
-
- - The administrators of each organization agree to provide a contact for
- the domains in their networks.
-
- - Hostmaster will notify administrators of acceptance or rejection
- of applications.
-
-
- MAINTENANCE OF DOMAIN INFORMATION
-
- Periodically, each organization should review the information on file
- at the NIC. The most simple way to do this is by using the NIC WHOIS
- server and typing "whois domain <domain name> <Return>" at the prompt.
- If any changes are required, the administrator should contact the NIC
- Hostmaster.
