This
diagram shows the current basic structure of the usTLD locality space.
Since
its inception, the locality space has operated through “delegated managers.”Delegated
managers take responsibility for the operation of specified zones within
the usTLD structure.These delegations
are based upon “localities,” such as cities and counties, and have been
third-level delegations in the form <locality>.<state>.us.For
example, an entity might operate as the delegated manager of the domain burke.va.us.As
the delegated manager, that entity would be fully responsible for the operation
and maintenance of the delegated domain – the usTLD Administrator maintains
no records or information for the zone created by the delegation beyond
the actual delegation to the delegated manager.
Under
the government contract between NeuStar and the Department of Commerce
(“DoC”), the existing delegated managers maintain their delegations and
will operate them in the normal fashion, but NeuStar is not permitted to
make any new delegations until it has completed a report on the status
of the locality space and made recommendations on its future operation.In
order to allow the continued operation of the space for local and state
governments during this process, NeuStar has developed this interim policy
relating to names that were never delegated to a delegated manager prior
to NeuStar’s acceptance of the usTLD Administrator role.

Upon
completion and submission of the registration information, the entity registering
the name will be required to provide the following along with the registration
information:
·If
the entity requesting the name is the entity eligible to hold the name
(a local government, for example), then the requester must provide a notarized
letter on the letterhead of the requesting entity stating that the requester
is authorized to request and use the name.
·If
the entity requesting the name is not the entity eligible to hold the name,
but is operating under authority of such entity (a hosting company hired
by a local government, for example) then the requester must provide a notarized
letter that it is authorized to request the name on behalf of the eligible
entity, as well as a notarized letter from the eligible entity stating
that it has authorized the requester to obtain and maintain the name.
Once
NeuStar receives the originals of the above letters, the requested name
will be activated.
