NZRS supervises the business operations of New Zeland's .nz ccTLD. It is a limited liability company fully owned by InternetNZ, a non-profit open membership organization dedicated to promoting coordinated development and protecting the Internet community in New Zealand. [1]
The Domain Name Commission Ltd. (DNCL), a sister company of NZRS, is responsible for the approval of registrars as well as the implementation of policies, and monitoring of the service level agreements, for the .nz domain name.
At present, the wholesale domain name fee for NZRS is $1.25 per month per domain name. Authorized registrars are able to set their own retail price for .nz domain name.[2]
Dispute and Complaint Process
NZRS is a listing service and the .nz DNS operates on a “first come first serve” policy. The DNCL will only participate in a dispute if a complainant believes that there is a breach in the .nz agreement or policies. A complaint must be filed in writing within 60 days after the incident occured and should be directed to the appropriate party.
If the parties involved are not able to come up with an acceptable resolution, the issue will be presented to the DNCL for investigation. The DNCL has the discretion to refer the case to a government agency such as the Commerce Commission, the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, or to the Privacy Commissioner.[3]
