This document describes a protocol for the registration and
management of second level domain names and associated name servers
in both generic Top Level Domains (gTLDs) and country code Top Level
Domains (ccTLDs). This protocol was developed by the Network
Solutions Registry for use within the Shared Registration System and
is being published "as-is" to document the protocol implementation
developed by the Network Solutions, Inc. Registry.
 
Internet domain name registration typically involves three entities:
a registrant who wishes to register a domain name, a registrar who
provides services to the registrant, and a registry that provides
services to the registrar while serving as the authoritative
repository of all functional information required to resolve names
registered in the registry's TLDs.  This document describes a
protocol for registry-registrar communication only.  The protocol
does not provide any registrant services.
