I hope that all is in order. Regards John Sheppard. [ NETINFO:DOMAIN-TEMPLATE.TXT ] [ 9/90 DM ] To establish a domain, the following information must be sent to the NIC Domain Registrar (HOSTMASTER@NIC.DDN.MIL). Questions may be addressed to the NIC Hostmaster by electronic mail at the above address, or by phone at (415) 859-3695 or (800) 235-3155. NOTE: The key people must have electronic mailboxes and NIC "handles," unique NIC database identifiers. If you have access to "WHOIS", please check to see if you are registered and if so, make sure the information is current. Include only your handle and any changes (if any) that need to be made in your entry. If you do not have access to "WHOIS", please provide all the information indicated and a NIC handle will be assigned. (1) The name of the top-level domain to join (EDU, COM, MIL, GOV, NET, ORG). 1. Top-level domain: .ZW (note that this is a new top level domain for Zimbabwe) (2) 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. [While, from a technical standpoint, domain names can be quite long we recommend the use of shorter, more user- friendly names.] 2. Complete Domain Name: .ZW (3) The name and address of the organization establishing the domain. 3a. Geographical address: Zimbabwe, Africa 3b.

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. NOTE: Both the Administrative and the Technical/Zone contact of a domain must have a network mailbox, even if the mailbox is to be within the proposed domain. Administrative Contact 5a.

A description of the primary and secondary server machines, including: - Hostname and network addresses - Hardware (CPUType) and software (Operating System), using keywords from the Assigned Numbers RFC.
