| + | '''Nic.tm (TM Domain Registry)''' is the registry for the [[.tm]] [[ccTLD]] for Turkmenistan. It is a subsidiary of the [[Internet Computer Bureau]], chaired by [[Paul Kane]]. The company is headquartered in United Kingdom and maintains other offices in the United States and Japan. |
| + | |
| + | ==Background== |
| + | TM Domain Registry was founded in 1997 and the company took over the operations of the .tm ccTLD after a four year hiatus when the former registry, Netnames, was unable to provide the necessary services for its customers.<ref>[http://www.zdnet.com.au/tm-domain-back-on-the-market-120272805.htm zdnet.com.au]</ref> |
| + | |
| + | The Minister of Communication in Turkmenistan, who also serves as director for the Turkmen [[ISOC]] chapter, chose Nic.tm to revive the .tm ccTLD to be able to protect the interests of domain name owners.<ref>[http://www.domaines.info/interview.php?inter_id=12&PHPSESSID=e55b949add4791747f6ccd6f13734e4 domaines.info]</ref> |

| + | In 2003, the registration for .tm ccTLD was re-opened by Nic.tm on a first come first serve basis. The company retained [[WIPO]] Arbitration and Mediation Center to handle domain name disputes and will be responsible in implementing the [[UDRP|Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy]] for the .tm ccTLD.<ref>[http://www.nic.tm/PR/wipoen.pdf Press Release]</ref> |
