Hello. We are planning to delegate every county name as a locality name in each State. For example, "Ventura.CA.US", "Dade.FL.US", "Riverside.CA.US". We are looking for volunteers to support the domain name registration and provision of name servers for these county domains. If you are interested in providing this service please return the template below. For further information about the US Domain please see RFC 1480. In the case where only one party requests a county delegation, they will be given that delegation. To be fair, where several requests are made for the same county(ies) those requests will be put in a hat and selected by lottery. If a locality name has already been delegated or it is both a city and county name we will not re-delegate it as a county. Only full names for counties, spelled out, with hyphens replacing spaces (e.g., Santa-Monica, or Fort-Collins"), will be considered. We must have a separate template for each county requested. It is important that you accurately fill in all the information requested on the template. If you alter it in any way, other than what is specified, it might not be considered. The data you supply will also be used to create your WHOIS entry. Be sure to accurately describe your domain name on the corresponding description question. Locality names should be in the following form: 2. Fully Qualified Domain Name 4. Description of Org/Domain ============================== ============================ VENTURA.CA.US Ventura, California DADE.FL.US Dade, Florida RIVERSIDE.CA.US Riverside, California We no longer use Internic NIChandles (Idents). We are creating our own US Domain Handles. It is important that you complete the Administrative and Technical contact information in full. We added an optional question "7j" for a Registration Request mailbox (i.e, hostmaster, support, dns-admin). We will accept all requests up to August 31, 1995. The current list of locality delegations can be found in the "us-domain-delegated.txt" file. For a list of counties in your state an atlas is a good place to look.
