Nokia Corporation is the operator of the .nokia registry. The Nokia Domain Name Management team is responsible for the development, maintenance and enforcement of the .nokia Domain Management Policy (NDMP). This policy defines the rules associated with eligibility and domain name allocation, sets out the license terms governing the use of a .nokia domain name and describes the dispute resolution policies for the .nokia TLD. This policy is intended to be updated and revised regularly to reflect Nokia’s commercial and strategic interests and, where appropriate, ICANN consensus policies.
General principle
The .nokia registry will be a closed Dot Brand registry, also known as a Single Entity Registry. All domain name registrations in the .nokia TLD will be registered to Nokia Corporation, and maintained by the Registry Operator for the exclusive use of members of the Nokia group of companies, its employees, subsidiaries and appropriate affiliates.
Nokia has no plans to sell, distribute or transfer the control or use of any registrations in the .nokia TLD to any third party.
As the .nokia registry will be a Single Entity Registry, Nokia is seeking an exemption from the Code of Conduct in Specification 9 of the Registry Operators’ Agreement.
Registration process
Registration of a .nokia domain name is done in four steps: Eligibility Confirmation, Naming Convention check, Acceptable Use review and finally Registration. After Registration, the license holder of a .nokia domain name must comply with the Acceptable Use rules.

• Incorrect information: If misleading, incomplete or incorrect information is supplied in the application.
