Complete Domain Name
A Domain Name is no more than 26 characters, and is only the second-level
name, as in 'example.com', 'example.net', or
example.org'. Do not fill hostname information, like http://
or www., it is unneccessary.
To make sure the Domain Name you want isn't already registered to
someone else, you may check the InterNIC's database with the field below.

Organization Using Domain Name
The domain name is considered to be registered to a "legal entity", even if the legal entity is an individual (e.g., Lee Smith). Do not list a "dba" or acronym as the registrant. In this section, it is important to list the legal name and address of the Registrant, not the Internet Service Provider ("ISP").

NIC Handle
Each contact in NSI's database is assigned a "handle" - a unique tag to
differentiate him/her from all other contacts in the database. Only one
handle should exist for each Individual or Role. If the contact handle is
already in the database, insert it in the NIC Handle field and leave the
rest of the section blank. If the contact handle is inserted and
additional information is also provided, only the contact handle will be
used. Any additional information will be ignored. Use contact handles
whenever possible.
If you think you have a NIC Handle (for example, you definately have a
NIC Handle if you've been listed as a contact for a domain before), but
don't remember it, you can check the InterNIC's database.
Enter your name in the format lastname, firstname, and click
submit. Your NIC Handle will be the string of capital letters and
numbers in parenthases, following your name (if it turns up).

Individual or Role?
If the contact is a person, use Individual. If it is a group or an organization where several individuals may be acting in that role, use Role.
