InternetNews - Web Developer News -- ISI Gives Up Administration of .us The University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute (ISI) Tuesday ceased administration of the .us
domain, a country code top-level domain (ccTLD) similar to those used by Canada (.ca), Germany (.de), Norway
(.no) and other countries. VeriSign Global Registry will temporarily assume administration of the domain until a
permanent administrator is selected.

VeriSign will administer the domain with no change in policies through the existing system of delegated
administrators across the country. The U.S. Department of Commerce (USC) will ultimately decide on a permanent
administrator for the domain and has set up a Web site for comments on the management and administration of the
domain.
