GTLD-MoU
gTLD-MoU (Generic Top Level Domain Name-Memorandum of Understanding) is a document prepared by the Internet Ad Hoc Committee (IAHC) containing proposals to resolve the problems associated with the Domain Name System (DNS) domain name allocations. The gTLD-MoU proposed the creation of seven new gTLDs and to transfer the management of the DNS from the U.S. government to a self-regulatory organization composed of public and private sectors. The document was introduced to the internet community on February 28, 1997. Under the gTLD-MoU, the framework of the proposed organization shall compose of the following:[1] [2]
- The Depository of the gTLD-MoU
- Policy Advisory Body (PAB)
- Policy Oversight Committee (POC)
- Council of Registrars (CORE)
- Administrative Domain Name Challenge Panels (ACPs)
