What is OpenNIC?
OpenNIC is a user controlled Network Information Center offering a democratic, non-national, alternative to the traditional Top-Level Domain registries. In case you were looking for them, traditonal TLDs are currently served by Network Solutions with policies set by ICANN.
Use of OpenNIC DNS servers, will allow host name resolution in LegacyDNS the Legacy U.S. Government DNS, SponsoredTLDs OpenNIC operated namespaces, and those namespaces with which the OpenNIC has peering agreements.
This wiki...
...is an access controlled work area for OpenNIC working groups (WGs). In accordance with OpenNIC's open access philosophy, working group notes are world-readable. Write access to the various WG areas is however limited only to participants (in order to provide a high signal-to-noise ratio). For more information on how to use this wiki, see: WikiCategory first, and then: CategoryWiki.
