Central Oregon Internet Domain Name Registration Form

Section 1 - Purpose of Registration

   Briefly describe the domain name Registrant and the purpose for
   which this domain name is being applied. The description should
   support the choice of the top-level domain described below 
   in Section 2.

Section 2 - Complete Domain Name
  
   For second-level domain names under .COM, .ORG, .NET, .EDU or .GOV,
   insert the name of the domain you wish to register as in,
   "EXAMPLE.COM". The total length of the two-part (second level.top
   level) name may be up to 26 characters (including the 4 characters
   .com). The only characters allowed in a domain name are letters,
   digits and the dash (-). A domain name cannot begin or end with a
   dash (see RFC 952). The top level domains registered by NSI are 
   .COM, .ORG, .NET, .EDU and .GOV.   Briefly:

    - COM is for commercial, for-profit organizations
    - ORG is for miscellaneous, usually, non-profit organizations
    - NET is for network infrastructure machines and organizations
    - EDU is for 4-year, degree granting institutions
    - GOV is for United States federal government agencies

   US state and local government agencies, schools, libraries, museums,
   and individuals should register under the US Domain.  See RFC 1480 for
   a complete description of the US Domain and registration procedures.

   GOV registrations are limited to top-level US Federal Government 
   agencies (see RFC 1816).

   Registrant is responsible for the accuracy of name submission; names
   will be registered as submitted; any changes will entail an additional
   registration fee.

Section 3 - Domain Name Registrant


   The domain name is considered to be registered to a "legal entity",
   even if the legal entity is an individual (e.g., Lee Smith). Do not
   list a "dba" or acronym as the registrant. In this section, it is
   important to list the legal name and address of the Registrant, not
   the Internet Service Provider ("ISP"). 

   If Items 3d or 3e are not applicable for your country, leave that
   Item blank. Items 3a, 3b, 3c and 3f must be completed or the Agreement
   will not be accepted. 

   Item 3f may be either the country name or two-letter country code. A
   list of country codes is available at
   "http://www.isi.edu/div7/iana/domain-names.html".

Section 4, 5, 6 - Contacts

   The Billing Contact will be invoiced for registrations and renewals.

   If the Technical or Billing Contact information is missing from the
   Registration Agreement, it will be presumed that the domain name
   Registrant has authorized the Administrative Contact/Agent to perform
   those roles. 

   If the contact has never been registered or the handle is unknown,
   leave Item "a" (NIC Handle) blank. The registration software will
   check for matches with existing contact records. If a contact record
   is found in the database that matches the information on the
   Registration Agreement in a significant way (name, organization,
   phone, Email Address), the database information will override the
   information you supply in the Registration Agreement. (A contact
   record cannot be updated by using the Registration Agreement.) 

   Each contact in NSI's database is assigned a "handle" - a unique tag
   to differentiate him/her from all other contacts in the database. Only
   one handle should exist for each Individual or Role. If the contact
   handle is already in the database, insert it in Item "a" and leave the
   rest of the section blank. If the contact handle is inserted and
   additional information is also provided, only the contact handle will
   be used. Any additional information will be ignored. Use contact
   handles whenever possible. 

   Item b - indicate the type of contact you are registering. If the
   contact is a person, insert "I" for "Individual". If it is a group or
   an organization where several individuals may be acting in that role,
   insert "R" for "Role". 

   Item c - place the name of the Individual or Role being registered.
   For Individuals, supply the full name (last, first and middle
   initial). Do not use titles. If suffixes are used, such as "Jr." or
   "III", separate the name from the suffix with a comma. For example,
   "Public, John Q., III" will result in a handle in the form of
   "JQP123". For Role contacts, provide the full name, for example,
   "Customer Service Support Center" would generate a handle of CSSC-ORG.
   The maximum length of a handle is 10 characters. 

   Item e - Street Address. 

   Multiple entries in Items j, k, and l must be separated by a comma.

   For each contact, if a NIC handle is not entered in a, Items b, c,
   d, e, f, i, j, and l must be completed. Agreements that do not have
   this information will be returned. 


   A valid Internet email address is REQUIRED for all Contacts in item "l".
   Separate the username and hostname parts of the mailbox by an "@" symbol.

   For example:

      user@example.com
