The IANA's File of iTLD Requests

From: postel@ISI.EDU
Subject: The IANA's File of iTLD Requests
Hello:

Here is a preliminary summary of the file of messages, including domain name registration forms, received by the IANA since Septermber 1995.

In most cases if a reply was sent at all it said something like:

While there is much discussion of a process for establishing new registries and new top level domains taking place, no conclusions have been reached as yet.

Request sent to the IANA for a new top level domain will be filed with the many other requests. There is some considerable possibility that this particular request will not be granted (in simple words -- don't plan on it).

This list was put together by reviewing the messages accumulated in a mail file set up for this purpose. It is likely that a few requests were overlooked in the process of setting up this file. If you made a request that is not listed here, plase forward a copy of your original message to IANA@IANA.ORG. Please put in the subject line of the message "New TLD Request" and the specific iTLD involved. We will look again into our old mail to confirm the requests and add it to this summary.

--jon.

NOTE is one of FORM, MAIL. FORM means that the IANA mailbox received a domain name template for this name. MAIL means that the IANA maibox received a message about this domain name.

The following are suggestions or claims or maybe jokes about top level domain names that i saw on some mailing list or other. These were not addressed specifically to the IANA so i do not consider these to be pending requests with the IANA.

Under NOTE, LIST means that i saw a message about this domain name on a mailing list and i forwarded it to the IANA mailbox to make a note of it.
