                    DOMAIN REGISTRATION TEMPLATE
                      FOR CSNET AND UUCP SITES

Please provide the following information to the NIC Domain Registrar.
Hostmaster may be reached by electronic mail ([email protected]),
or by phone at (703) 802-4535 or 1-800-365-3642.

  Please Note: The key contacts will be registered in the NIC WHOIS
  database.  If these individuals are not already registered, this
  will be done at the time of domain registration.  In addition,
  these individuals should have electronic mailboxes.  Complete
  information should be provided below for individuals not already
  registered.

  1) The name of the top level domain to join.

     For example:  EDU

  (2) The NIC handle (a unique NIC WHOIS database identifier), if
  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.

     For example:

        Administrator

           Organization  The NetWorthy Corporation
           Name          Penelope Q. Sassafrass
           Title         President
           Mail Address  The NetWorthy Corporation
                         4676 Andrews Way, Suite 100
                         Santa Clara, CA 94302-1212
           Phone Number  (415) 123-4567
           Net Mailbox   [email protected]
           NIC Handle    PQS (if any)

  (3) The NIC handle of the technical and zone contact for the
  domain.  Alternately, the person's name, title, mailing address,
  phone number, organization, and network mailbox.  This is the
  contact point for problems concerning the domain or zone, as well
  as for updating information about the domain or zone.

     For example:

        Technical and Zone Contact

           Organization  The NetWorthy Corporation
           Name          Ansel A. Aardvark
           Title         Executive Director
           Mail Address  The NetWorthy Corporation
                         4676 Andrews Way, Suite 100
                         Santa Clara, CA. 94302-1212
           Phone Number  (415) 123-6789
           Net Mailbox   [email protected]
           NIC Handle    AAA2 (if any)

  (4) The name of the domain (up to 12 characters).  This is the name
  that will be used in tables and lists associating the domain with
  the domain server addresses.  (Shorter names are easier for people
  to cope with.)

     For example:  TNC

  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
  domain.  Establishing the servers in physically separate locations
  is strongly recommended.  A description of the server machine and
  its backup, including

     (a) Hardware and software (using keywords from the Assigned
     Numbers RFC).

     (b) Host domain name and network addresses (which host on which
     network for each connected network).

     For example:

        - Hardware and software

           VAX-11/750  and  UNIX,    or
           IBM-PC      and  MS-DOS,  or
           DEC-1090    and  TOPS-20

        - Host domain names and network addresses

           BAR.FOO.COM 10.9.0.193 on ARPANET

  (10) Please describe your organization briefly.

     Example: The NetWorthy Corporation is a consulting
     organization of people working with UNIX and the C language in
     an electronic networking environment.  It sponsors two technical
     conferences annually and distributes a bimonthly newsletter.
