Registrars will be advised of the reasons where domain name requests are Rejected by the Naming Committee. It is the responsibility of the Registrar to ensure that they pass this information back to their customer.

If it is felt that the rejection is unjustified, and all relevant detailed information for the domain name request has already been submitted with the template application, then an appeal may be lodged. This should be sent by the Registrar concerned, on behalf of their customer, to domains@jisc.ac.uk for gov.uk appeals, with full details as to why the domain name request should be permitted. The Adjudicator on the Naming and Approvals Committee will consider each individual case and their decision, approved by the Naming and Approvals Committee, will be final

Please note: The procedure for Appeals is currently under review by the Naming Committee. If you should have any queries prior to updates, please contact the Naming Administrator, domains@jisc.ac.uk.
