Dot TK is the registration domain of Taloha, Inc. which is a joint venture of a private organization, BV Dot TK, with Teletok (Tokelau governmental telecommunications body).[1][2] BV Dot TK, which is doing business as Dot TK registry, has been appointed by the Tokelau Government as an exclusive entity for registration.
Offices[3]
The registry is funded privately and has offices in the following regions –
- Douglas (Isle of Man)
- Amsterdam (Netherlands)
- London (United Kingdom)
- Palo Alto (USA)
Mission[4]
The company has its DNS root-servers in every region of the world which provides the support for handling the worldwide registrations. The registry has been mainly created for a social impact so as to make the people of the world aware of Tokelau, a Pacific territory of New Zealand and its community. This is to establish associations with bigger corporations for enhancing communication, medical expertise and education in the region and to directly find the island using the royalty fees earned from selling the domain names.
