- Request for Comments: 2053 AM Network Information Center
- Category: Informational October 1996
-
-
- The AM (Armenia) Domain
-
- Status of this Memo
-
- This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo
- does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of
- this memo is unlimited.
-
- The AM Domain
-
- The AM Domain is an official Internet top-level domain of Armenia.
-
- AM is the ISO-3166 2-letter country code for the Republic of Armenia
- and thus the AM Domain is established as a top-level domain and
- registered with the InterNIC the same way other country domains are.
-
- Naming Structure
-
- The AM Domain hierarchy is flat. This means that any organization may
- be registered directly under the AM TLD. Example: arminco.am.
-
- However, subdomains are allowed, such as ORG and MIL, as well as CO
- and AC.
-
- Please note that MIL.AM and GOV.AM domains are reserved by the
- Ministry of Defense and The Government of Armenia, respectively.
- Other domains may be reserved for appropriate organizations by
- contacting AM Network Information Center at HOSTMASTER@AMNIC.NET.
-
- Registration
-
- There are two types of registrations (1) Delegation, where a branch
- of the AM Domain is delegated to an organization running name servers
- to support that branch; or (2) Direct Registration, in which the
- information is put directly into the main database.
-
- In Direct Registration there are two cases: (a) an IP-host (with an
- IP address), and (b) non-IP host (for example, a UUCP host). Any
- particular registration will involve any one of these three
- situations.

- RFC 2053 The AM (Armenia) Domain October 1996
-
-
- The registration is performed by the AM Network Information Center,
- national Internet registry of Armenia. For more information about AM
- Network Information Center, please visit:

-
- Requirements
-
- Anyone requesting to register a host in the AM Domain is sent a copy
- of the "AM second-level domain registration template". It is
- necessary to fill out this template and send via Internet e-mail to
- HOSTMASTER@AMNIC.NET for consideration.
-
- The AM Domain template, is similar to the InterNIC Domain template,
- but it is not the same. To request a copy of the AM Domain template,
- send a message to HOSTMASTER@AMNIC.NET.
