Nominet have now started the process of issuing domain names in the two Welsh top level domains, .wales and .cymru. Key dates are now available on their timeline, though there is a note that these may yet change so those intending to apply should subscribe to their mailing list for updates.

Nominet have now published their inital policy statement for the .cymru and .wales top level domains. Details, including the exact list of domain names that will be reserved, are still being discussed with the Welsh Government so anyone interested in registering a domain should keep an eye on the .wales/.cymru website where you can also register for updates.

Nominet’s latest proposal to issue second level domain names directly under .uk is considerably simpler than its predecessor.
This is the response of Jisc Collections and Janet Ltd, trading as Janet, to Nominet’s consultation on registration of second level domain names. Janet is the registry for the .ac.uk subdomain and also operates .gov.uk on behalf of the Cabinet Office.

Yesterday I attended a round-table for Nominet’s revised proposal for allowing registrations directly under the .uk domain.

Under ICANN’s scheme to create new top level domains Nominet have applied to run two domains in cooperation with the Welsh Government: .wales and .cymru. Nominet are now consulting on how those domains should be operated.

Janet is currently preparing a response to Nominet's consultation on the creation of new Top-Level Domains for Wales (.cymru & .wales).  Above is a draft response for comment by the Janet community which should be read in conjunction with the consultation document itself.

Thanks to all those who have provided feedback on Nominet’s direct.uk proposal to allow the creation of domains directly under .uk subject to certain conditions.
This response is structured around the questions in Nominet's consultation paper: 1. Should Nominet have an abuse policy and would creation of one be in line with its vision of making the internet a trusted space? [section1, and section 2(a)]
