23 Provide name and full description of all the Registry Services to be provided

Prototypical answer:

The .SMART TLD will be operated by SMART as the Registry Operator. The TLD is for the exclusive use of the company, its authorized affiliates, partners, and subscribers. The company will use .SMART to communicate with its affiliates, partners, and subscribers and to deliver official corporate information to the general public.

The registration of a second-level domain in the registry is to be restricted to the company and would be based on on the company’s operational needs. Registration to .SMART is not to be open to any registrant outside of the above restricted population.

CUSTOMARY REGISTRY SERVICES

The following is a list of the ICANN-defined customary registry services. Explanations are given if .SMART will not offer or will offer them in a manner unique to the TLD.

(A) Receipt of data from registrars concerning registration of domain names and name servers.
Not offered. Reason: The registry will be restricted for the exclusive use of the company and is not open to the general public. There will be no external registrars because there will be no non-company affiliated registrants.

(B) Dissemination of TLD zone files.
Offered. The registry will use BIND 9.9 for its DNS and will comply with all the relevant RFCs.

(C) Dissemination of contact or other information concerning domain name registrations (e.g., port-43 WHOIS, Web- based Whois, RESTful Whois service).
Offered. With Modification For all the SLDs, the registrant contact information will all be the same as that of the TLD and will refer to the company’s official contact person(s). Registration in the TLD will be subject to the company’s internal procedures and may not be done without the approval of the Head of the Business Unit. Hence the Head of the Business Unit will be able to answer all questions regarding any SLD.

(D) Dissemination of TLD zone files.
Offered. The registry will use BIND 9.9 for its DNS and will comply with all the relevant RFCs.

(E) Internationalized Domain Names, where offered.
Not offered. Reason: The company uses English and Filipino as its official business languages and both are accommodated by ASCII.

(F) DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC).
Offered. The registry will use BIND 9.9 for its DNS servers and will comply with all the relevant RFCs. The registry will offer only the above customary services with the stated modifications. Because all of the above services are standards-compliant, the Registry Operator foresees no harmful effect on the stability or security of the DNS.
