Proposed new moderated Second Level Domain .health.nz — Second Consultation

Previously, comment has been sought on a proposal for a new moderated second level domain, .health.nz. As a result of seeking comments on the application, ten submissions were received. These can be read at http://dnc.org.nz/health-application. The submissions identified some issues with the Ministry of Health's initial moderation policy which were discussed with them. As a result, the moderation policy has been revised, and a further round of consultation is now taking place.

The revisions to the moderation policy include:

- clarification of the eligibility of organisations such as the Health and Disability Commissioner for .health.nz names;

- a process for the initial allocation of names, and how to manage similar names or abbreviations;

- a mechanism for dealing with objections relating to the allocation of .health.nz names; and

- criteria for how to remove names from the .health.nz domain.

We would welcome your views on the revised moderation policy, available at
http://www.dnc.org.nz/content//moderation_policy_v2.pdf.

Submissions closed at midday on Monday 13 October. Submissions were published at http://dnc.org.nz/healthapplication-2ndconsult as they were received.
