==NIXI and ICANN==  
.in is the [[ccTLD]] for India. IANA initially delegated the ccTLD in the DNS root zone in 1989. The National Centre for Software Technology (NCST) was the sponsoring organization and initially served as the manager and operator of the .in ccTLD.<ref name="iana">[http://www.iana.org/reports/2009/in-report-27nov2009.html Redelegation of the .IN domain representing India to the National Internet Exchange of India]. iana.org.</ref>


In 2002, NCST merged with the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC), a scientific research and development institution of the Ministry of Information Technology.C-DAC managed and operated the .in registry until December of 2004. The Secretary of the Department of Information Technology subsequently issued and order designating and appointing National Internet Exchange of India (NIXI) as the national registry.<ref>[http://www.iana.org/reports/2009/in-report-27nov2009.html Redelegation of the .IN domain representing India to the National Internet Exchange of India]. iana.org.</ref>
In 2009, [[ICANN]] received a request from NIXI to re-delegate the .in ccTLD to the organization as the new registry operator in India; it was evaluated by [[IANA]] and there were no foreseen transfer issues since NIXI is already serving as the de facto operator of the .in registry.<ref name="iana">[http://www.iana.org/reports/2009/in-report-27nov2009.html IANA: Redelegation of the .IN domain representing India to the National Internet Exchange of India]</ref>
