iu.edu service addresses

The iu.edu domain is reserved for IU services that meet either of the following requirements:

• They have a university-wide scope; for example, internally focused services or information provided from web pages must be applicable and accessible to constituents on a major portion of IU's campuses.
  
  
• They broadly represent IU in such a way that any externally focused service or information provided from web pages represents a non-profit, non-commercial agency, institute, or program supported by a major portion of IU's campuses.

Other top-level domains

Use of top-level domains that do not have an IU association included in the name (e.g., WellKnownInstitute.org, .net, or .info) will be granted only in the following cases:

• For .org, the entity represented by the web page or server being named must be a non-profit, non-commercial academic agency, institute, or program supported by a consortium consisting of an IU department or office and at least five external non-profit organizations.
  
  
• For .net, the service represented by the web page or server being named must be part of a set or network of similar external web pages or servers.
  
  
• For .info, the service represented must provide an outlet for information that has an outside market, and such information must be uniquely possessed by a particular IU department or agency.
