Rules For The .TT Domain And Sub-Domains.
1. PURPOSE
The purpose of this document is to describe the rules for the allocation of names within the .TT domain and its sub-domains. TTNIC is responsible for the administration of the .TT domain.
2. PROCESS DETAIL
2.1 The rules given here apply to all requests for names in the .TT domain and all sub-domains of .TT except where differing rules exist for a sub-domain. The rules for a sub-domain shall incorporate all the rules in this document along with such additional rules that are required. Agreement of the Management of TTNIC shall be required if the rules of a sub-domain are to exclude any of the rules of this document. Their agreement shall not unreasonably be withheld.
2.2 Where a dispute over the interpretation of the rules exists, the Management of TTNIC shall rule on the interpretation.
2.3 All NEW second level domain requests made to TTNIC shall conform to the rules applying at the time of registration.
2.4 All NEW third level domain requests will conform to RFCs 1034, 1035, 1122, 1123 and any subsequent replacements.
2.5 If the rules are changed in the future, some names approved under one set of rules might be rejected under the revised rules. No rule change will ever affect the status of a name which has been approved before the change unless sound technical reasons require this.
3. MANDATORY RULES FOR .EDU.TT DOMAINS.
3.1 All One Letter domains (i.e.[a-z].xxx.edu.tt) are reserved to cater for possible future sub-domain usage.
3.2 If the registrant elects to do his own DNS hosting there shall be at least two name servers for the domain (with addresses specified in the request) operating at the time the request is submitted. There is no restriction on the IP address of these name servers, but they must be reachable on the Internet at the time of application.
3.3 Free .edu.tt domains are given only to registered educational institutions in Trinidad and Tobago.
3.4 In a situation where the management of the domain is being outsourced the educational institution must still be listed as the owner of the domain. The Administrative contact must be a representative of the educational institution. The Technical contact must be from the organization managing the domain.
