HISTORY

Welcome

Welcome to the InternetNZ pages devoted to second level names within .nz for Second Level Domains or 2LDs. These pages will be used in the management of any applications to create new 2LDs.The current second level domain names within .nz are:

.ac .co .cri .gen .govt .iwi .mil .net .org .school

In May 1997 the InternetNZ (formerly ISOCNZ) Council accepted the paper "Future Development of the .NZ Domain Name Space". This paper set up principles that should govern all second level domain names and established a process (fee level set October 2001) for creating new 2LDs.
