SUBJECT:

UC San Diego Domain Names Policy - PPM 135-8

A new policy, PPM 135-8, Registration, Management and Use of UC San Diego Domain Names, has been issued. This document sets forth a computer domain name management policy that will conserve and appropriately acknowledge limited campus resources (such as IP address space, staff time, and physical network connections); ensure compliance with applicable laws, University and campus regulations; minimize risk to the reputation and development abilities of the campus; and maximize accountability and problem management for purposes of campus computing security.

The Administrative Computing & Telecommunications (ACT) department is the sole steward of the UC San Diego network and Internet gateways. As part of this role, ACT serves as the central point of contact for the outside world and is responsible for ensuring that the management of these University resources complies with applicable laws and regulations.

Please review the new policy:
