The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) has promulgated the “Notice on Improving the Safety and Security of the Internet Domain Name System” in response to the recent increase in threats and risks against domain name safety and security. The Notice requires the authorities concerned to take measures to improve the protection and contingency plan in connection with the domain name system. Basic telecommunication service providers, domain name registration management companies and domain name registration services companies must be aware of their authority in providing their services and improve the protection and security measures for their recursive domain name analytical system and domain name registration system. A series of standards for domain name safety and domain name system safety are expected to be formulated and promulgated.
