ICANN Posts Communication from the UPU regarding .POST Top-Level Domain
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the Universal Postal Union (UPU) have entered into negotiations intended to result in the delegation of the .POST registry.
According to a press release by ICANN, this outreach by the UPU is intended to inform the community about proposed aspects of the UPU’s business model and requested contractual agreement.
These proposals are based upon the UPU’s vision for adding significant value to: the DNS, its member states and their designated operators of postal services, and the recipients of postal services.
Certain aspects of these terms relate to the UPU’s status as an intergovernmental organization (IGO) comprised of member states and as specialized agency of the United Nations.
Significantly, this outreach invites public examination and comment at an early stage of the negotiation. Negotiations will continue and comments made regarding this material will be taken into account as they are received.
