NIXI and ICANN[edit | edit source]

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.[2]

In addition, NIXI particpated in the ICANN 31st meeting in New Delhi that was hosted by the government of India.[3]
