.US DOMAIN SPACE Issue: Internet The Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), in a notice to be published shortly in the Federal Register, announced a Notice and a Request for public comment on a draft statement of work that the department contemplates will be ultimately incorporated into a request for proposals to manage .us on behalf of the U.S. government. The .us domain is the "national" or "country code" top level domain (ccTLD) assigned to the United States for domain name registration and is currently managed as a locality-based hierarchy in which second-level domain space is allocated to States and U.S. territories.
