NIXI (National Internet eXchange of India) is a non-profit organization registered under Section – 25 of the Companies Act 1956 on July 19, 2003.[1] It was designated to neutrally facilitate the exchange of domestic traffic between peering ISP members. The company has managed the .in ccTLD registry since 2005.
The organization's Internet exchange points are located in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mohali, Mumbai, Lucknow and Kolkata [1]
NIXI and ICANN
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]
