NTIA puts .us domain out to bid, relaxes registrar ownership rule (1.Viewing)

Today, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) issued a Request for Proposals for the administration of the .us top level domain.

The government originally planned to open the RFP in January and announce a winner this month, but delayed the RFP release until today.

Under a new timeline, initial submissions are due May 18. At that point, the NTIA will let applicants know whether they’ve passed the first hurdle, and will give them until June 8 to submit additional documents. The government will award the contract on June 30.
