INTERNET DOMAIN NAME POLICY - 5195-MAY-2017

(New: 05/2017)

The State of California has been authorized to administer the “ca.gov” Domain Name Service (DNS) Zone by the United States General Services Administration (GSA). Web domains occupying this zone can only be acquired by an official state entity, county, city or government group within the State of California.  The Government Operations Agency (GovOps) has statewide responsibility to oversee the ca.gov domain name program and the California Department of Technology will manage the registration, change, and renewal process for ca.gov domains. This policy applies to all second-level and third-level domain names within the ca.gov domain.
