".gl" is the country code top level domain (ccTLD) for Greenland.
It is managed by TELE-POST wich is the amalgamation of two enterprises wich each has its own history. The two enterprises — "TELE Greenland" and Greenland Postal Service (Kalaallit Allakkeriviat) — merged in 1997, whereby "Kalaallit Allakkeriviat" became "POST Greenland" and the common designation "TELE-POST" was founded. Now they reside in Nuuk, inside Greenland's first skyscraper so customers can now enquire at one and the same counter to transact their ordinary postal and telecom business. TELE Greenland A/S has been appointed to administer the Greenlandic Top-Level-Domain (GL- TLD) and to register as such all names at other levels which have the .gl ending. Greenland domain names can be registered directly under the second level ".GI", or under several sub-domains, these
are:
• .com.gl
• .co.gl
• .org.gl
• .net.gl
• .edu.gl
There are no requirements for a local presence in Greenland, domains are available to anyone on a first-come first-served basis, wherever they are based.
The registry state that new registrations can take up to 28 days to complete.
The registry suggest domain name's ought to have between 3 and 25 characters, although two letter .gl names have been granted before. Because a domain name is used all over the world and since used in diverse computer programs, there are certain rules which must be observed when a domain name is created. These rules are based RFC's standards and recommendations.
A "gl" domain name needs to meet the following criteria:
• It can only contain the following characters:
1. A-Z
2. 0-9
3. - (hyphen)
• A ".gl" domain name can not contain more than 63 characters (not including .gl) It can not begin or end with a hyphen.
Please note that domain names consisting only of numbers can create problems. Hence there are certain applications for these arrends.
The ".gl" domain name are not compatible with IDN's hence the Danish letters, æ ø and å can not be used. They are normally translated as ae, oe and aa on the Internet.
Upon declaration, the applicant must sign a waiver that states that the domain name does not infringe on existing copyright law since TELE Greenland does not investigate or take responsibility for infringements on the rights of a outside party. All litigation shall be between the owner/user of the domain name. TELE Greenland is not responsible for the registration or use of the users domain name.
