                   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 (HOSTMASTER@NIC.DDN.MIL), 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   Sassafrass@ECHO.TNC.COM
          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   Aardvark@ECHO.TNC.COM
          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:

1. Hardware and software

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

1. 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.
