    Country-code top-level domainsDNSSEC

    Overview

    • .gd is the country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Grenada.
    • Introduced/implemented on 3 June 1992.
    • Managed through nicGD under the authority of the National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (NTRC); KSRegistry GmbH operates NIC.GD on behalf of the NTRC.
    • Registrations are available directly at the second level.
    • DNSSEC: enabled (Q4 2013).

    History

    • Delegation/implementation date: 3 June 1992.
    • March 2013: a dispute over the ownership and control of AdamsNames Ltd. (the accredited registry at the time) affected .gd (alongside .vg and .tc). Some registrars stopped accepting new registrations during that dispute.
    • 1 May 2013: NTRC moved the .gd zone under the management of KSRegistry (running as nicGD) to ensure zone integrity.
    • May 2013: KSRegistry froze the zone from changes until 21 May 2013 to resolve discrepancies arising from the dispute; the zone was later re-opened with new policies.

    Usage and Audience

    • Intended use: entities connected with Grenada.
    • Actual use: receives some use within Grenada.
    • Typical registrants are organizations, businesses, and individuals with ties to Grenada.

    Registration Rules

    • Registry/Administrator: nicGD under the oversight of the National Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (NTRC); KSRegistry operates NIC.GD per NTRC arrangements.
    • Dispute policy: UDRP.

    General terms and restrictions (as listed by nic.GD):

    • The registrant must guarantee that the requested name and its intended use do not impair third-party rights and do not violate laws or morality.
    • Names that include geographic regions (e.g., county, province, city, district, country) require written consent of the authority for that region and must be presented to nic.GD within 7 days upon request.
    • Names that include the name of any officially recognized body or authority require written consent of the relevant body and must be presented to nic.GD within 7 days upon request.
    • Use of domain names for reselling sub-domains is prohibited; the registrant is liable for any use of their domain name.
    • Registrants must be authorized to request the registration and must comply with nic.GD's General Terms & Conditions.

    Notable Cases or Examples

    • The March–May 2013 ownership dispute (involving AdamsNames Ltd., a former accredited registry, and a claim by a new company Meridian Ltd.) led to registrars pausing new registrations and prompted the NTRC to place the .gd zone under KSRegistry management and apply a temporary freeze to the zone while policies and control were clarified.
