judiciary
The Nominet Board has approved a request from the Judicial Office and the Cabinet Office to allow the judiciary its own closed second level domain (SLD), judiciary.uk.
Currently, the judiciary are provided for under the Government’s second level domain, .gov.uk. Creating judiciary.uk will ensure that the domain name reflects the judiciary’s independence from government, as enshrined in the Constitutional Reform Act, 2005.
We are proposing to re-label the relevant parts of the existing .gov.uk SLD to the new .judiciary.uk. As a closed domain, this SLD would operate under the same restrictions as .gov.uk.
Due to the unique circumstances, Nominet made the decision to approve .judiciary.uk outside of the SLD policy. We are also asking stakeholders for views on the desirability of a review of this policy, which has been in place since 2004. Please email us with your thoughts on this matter.
