From: John Brown

1 March 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

The website for Nominet, who manage the .uk TLD includes a page
[http://www.nic.uk/registrants/aboutdomai...
concerning the delegated management of domain names. On this page
is states: "Applications for police.uk domain names need to be
approved by the National Policing Improvement Authority (NPIA)."

I am making a request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I
would like to know about the rules and procedures concerning the
management of domain names in the police.uk sub-domain. Please
would you provide the following information:

(a) Please would you release an electronic copy of the rules
covering the criteria for approving a police.uk domain name;

(b) Please would you provide a list of all domain names registered
in the police.uk sub-domain;

(c) Please would you identify on the list provided in response to
(b) above, which of the domain names are used/operated by
organisations which have a limited company status (i.e. are not
police forces, police authorities, local authorities or government
departments or agencies).

Yours faithfully,

John Brown
