APTLD

The Asia Pacific Top Level Domain Association is the association for country-code top level domain managers in the Asia Pacific region. InternetNZ actively engages with APTLD gaining valuable information regarding technological and operational issues of regional domain name registries.

ICANN

InternetNZ has been a longtime supporter of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers - the private sector, non-governmental institution that coordinates the technical resources at the Internet's heart, the global DNS root. An Exchange of Letters formalising InternetNZ’s relationship with ICANN was signed in October 2007. The exchange of letters means that InternetNZ officially recognises ICANN’s role in coordinating the root services of the Internet, and ICANN officially recognises InternetNZ’s role as the ccTLD (Country Code Top Level Domain) manager for .nz.
