usTLD Federal, State and Local Name Request Registration Process

Introduction

Prior to the launch of the second-level .us domain space, the Contractor, in consultation with the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) within the U. S. Department of Commerce, reserved certain Federal, State, and Local names from open registration to ensure their availability to Federal, State and Local governments.The process for registering these reserved names was incorporated into this purchase order via Modification No. 0004.

Additional Governmental Name Requests

Recently, representatives from Federal, State and Local government agencies have requested that additional names be registered under the Reserved Name Process.Consistent with the Contractor’s obligations under this purchase order to serve the needs and interests of these users of the usTLD, the Contractor must accommodate such requests following the process described below.There is no deadline or limited time period for requests for additional names under the Reserved Name Process, as modified.

Additional Governmental Name Registration Process

In order to register additional names, a Federal, State, or Local governmental agency, department or bona fide representative must follow these steps:

·Step One

oThe Federal, State or Local governmental agency, department or bona fide representative must contact the Contractor with a request for names serving a governmental function or purpose.

·Step Two

oThe Contractor must verify the availability of the requested names, reserve the available name requested, and inform the governmental representative of the list of names that have been “reserved” as a result of their request.

·Step Three

oThe Federal, State or Local governmental agency must follow the reserved name registration process incorporated into this purchase order or otherwise approved by the Contracting Officer for the identified names.

Requests by a Governmental Agency for Names Currently Registered by the General Public

The Contractor must maintain a list of those names, presently registered by members of the general public, for which representatives of Federal, State or Local government request a reservation in the event that such general public registrations expire.Upon expiration of such registrations, the Contractor must remove the requested name(s) from the general pool of names available for public registration and place them on the Reserved Name List.The Contractor must inform the Federal, State or Local governmental representative who requested the reservation that the requested name(s) is now available for registration under the Reserved Name Process, and process the Federal, State or Local governmental entity’s request pursuant to the requirements set forth in this modification to the purchase order.
