gTLD Registrar Systems

Nominet has developed its services in line with ICANN’s requirements for new gTLDs. Each gTLD is implemented as a separate registry with a separate architecture and objects.

Nominet needs to contact you at several points in the domain lifecycle, and will do so via:

• EPP poll messages, as specified in RFC 5730 (Hollenbeck, RFC5730, 2009)
• Email messages

This section covers:

• Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP)
• OT&E test-beds
• Registry objects
• IDNs
• DNSSEC
• Web-based domain management
