.nz is preparing to introduce the Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) to strengthen the security and reputation of .nz.
 
Vulnerabilities exist in the Domain Name System (DNS) that allow miscreants to re-direct, intercept, or modify users’ Internet traffic, each with potentially devastating consequences. DNSSEC has been developed to add to the security features of the DNS, and to mitigate those vulnerabilities. 
 

Please note: Closing date revised to 9 September 2010

The Domain Name Commission is responsible for managing the .nz domain name space (all domain names ending .nz) and administers a Dispute Resolution Service (DRS).

The DRS is a quick and cost-effective way of resolving domain name disputes and offers an accessible alternative to the courts. We are currently inviting applications for one Expert and one Mediator position.

Applications for one Expert position for the .nz Dispute Resolution Service are currently being sought. The Domain Name Commission administers a dispute resolution service (DRS) for .nz domain names.

The minutes of the DNCL Board meeting held on 1 June 2010 are available.
