.US DOMAIN SPACE
Issue: Internet
The Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information
Administration (NTIA), in a notice to be published shortly in the Federal
Register, announced a Notice and a Request for public comment on a draft
statement of work that the department contemplates will be ultimately
incorporated into a request for proposals to manage .us on behalf of the
U.S. government. The .us domain is the "national" or "country code" top
level domain (ccTLD) assigned to the United States for domain name
registration and is currently managed as a locality-based hierarchy in which
second-level domain space is allocated to States and U.S. territories. See
