Definition of the Term "Internet" 10/24/95

In June 1995, the FNC issued a policy providing the InterNIC with direction on who can be issued a top level .GOV domain name. For a copy of the policy, see RFC 2146. Note that most organizations possessing .GOV domain names were grandfathered under this policy.

RFC 2146 relies on the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB 95-1) and the U.S. Government Manual for guidance on categorization of Federal entities. Top level departments, as well as independent agencies which are listed in the FIPS-95-1, qualify for registration at the .GOV level. (Copy of FIPS-95-1.)
