1. The Information Technology Development Institute at Kaunas University of Technology as an official Administrator of the .lt top-level domain of many years, hereby -performing the management functions of the .lt top-level domain delegated by the Internet self-regulation institutions,
-whereas the requirements valid since 01-06-2000 have ensured the adequate conditions for the
interested persons to create Domains by exercising the rights to protected marks, personal names or
place names,
-seeking for simplification and automation of the procedures being performed,
-having generalized the usual practice,
-having considered the conclusion made by the Kaunas Department of Lithuanian Lawyers’
Association, after consultations with the Internet service providers passes the Procedural Regulation for the .lt top-level domain (hereinafter referred to as the “Regulation”).
2. As the coordination of legal regulation and self-regulation by the competence is essential with regard to Internet, the principles, requirements and provisions for the creation, suspension, extension, transfer, cancellation and change of the Domain as well as other related procedures are specified in the Regulation, however it does not deal with the issues of legal regulation (legal subordination of the networks and other facilities connected to Internet, conditions for use, technical access, information hosting, content, etc.). The legal relationships formed using the Domains, first of all in the field of information society services, are regulated by applicable law.
SECTION I
DEFINITIONS
1. 1. Domain – in this Regulation any second-level domain within the .lt top-level domain.
2. 2. Name – the label identifying the domain indicated to the left of .lt sufix and separated by dot.
1. 1. IDN (Internationalized Domain Names) – multilingual names the system of which is implemented according to the special provisions of Internet self-regulation.
2. 2. Applicant – a founder (holder) of the Domain who has submitted the Application and created the Domain directly or through the intermediary or has obtained the right to the Domain on some other legal basis.
3. 3. Application – the technically correct order for the creation of the Domain, which meets all set requirements, submitted to the Administrator.
4. 4. Application Processing System – software as a subject of copyright for carrying out the procedures and systematizing the data automatically.
5. 5. Whois database – the structured and systematically arranged repertory of data on the Domains and persons technically responsible for them, which may be used individually by electronic means.
6. 6. DNS (Domain Name System) – a network service, among other things, associating IP addresses with the names of the Domains.
7. 7. Period – the Agreement validity period of one year within which the Domain information is maintained in Whois database.
SECTION II
PRINCIPLES
12. The procedures are carried out following the principles hereto:
1) the principle „first come, first served”. Date and time of receipt of complete electronic Application by the Application Processing System used by the Administrator is the only reference point for setting the preference for the use of a particular label in the name of the Domain;
2) the principle of the uniqueness of names. For the assurance of the integrity of Whois database the names of the existing Domains cannot repeat;
3) the principle of non-discrimination. The possibility to create a Domain is not related to the number of the Domains hold by the Applicant, its legal position, citizenship, place of residence or other personal attributes, and the same rules are applied for all Applications;
4) the principle of impartiality. The Administrator does not have any personal interest concerning the assignment of particular names to one or another person, therefore it is not a party to a dispute solving the issue on the rights to the labels used for this;
5) the principle of data correctness. The Applicant must ensure that data provided to the
Administrator are always correct and accurate.
SECTION III
FORMATION OF NAMES
1. 1. Applicants create Domains, form their names and are responsible for them.
2. 2. The name can be any of the not blocked labels if it meets all the following requirements: 1) technical: -a label has not been used yet as the name of another Domain (including temporary stored ones); -a label (without .lt suffix) must have at least two letters from “a” to “z” of the standard Latin
alphabet (IDN names may also have other symbols specified in the paragraph 15), digits from 0 to 9 and hyphen (-s);
Note: Only small letters should be used in labels.
-a label (without .lt suffix) can be of up to sixty three characters at maximum; -hyphens are not allowed at the beginning and (or) at the end of the label as well as in the third and forth position except IDN names (see the paragraph 15); -an Applicant in accordance with legislation acts has got the authorization of the competent authority to use labels registered in the list of reserved labels; 2) good morality: -a label should not contravene public order and first of all good morality standards. The names
should not contain any labels apparently denigrating honour and dignity (business reputation) of persons or hurting different social or occupational groups.
Note: An applicant creating a name is personally liable for the infringement of industrial rights or copyright of third persons; the Administrator does not check the names in this regard.
15. Special provisions for IDN: 1) IDN names may contain the following letters of Lithuanian alphabet.
2) In the third and forth positions of IDN name hyphens are used (when forming a special prefix “xn-” or some other prefix adopted according to the provisions of Internet self-regulation);
3) IDN name with a special prefix and the name containing the letters of Lithuanian alphabet should match each other when converted using IDN compatible software;
4) the technical requirements set forth above including the minimum and maximum length of a label, as well as the requirement of good morality shall be applied both for IDN names with a special prefix and the names containing the letters of Lithuanian alphabet.
16. The Administrator makes the lists of reserved and blocked names, changes or supplements them. The labels the use of which is restricted by the common legislation or the decision of the Administrator for the integrity of DNS are reserved. The labels on request of the persons shall not be reserved in the way other than the general procedure for the creation of Domains.
Note: The label contained in the Domain name is considered reserved (blocked) if any part of the Domain name, having eliminated hyphens, matches the label included in the list of reserved (blocked) labels.
1. 1. The conformity of the label with the technical requirements is checked automatically in the Application submission process. If the label does not meet the technical requirements the Application submission process is terminated and subsequent procedures are not performed.
2. 2. Until powerful filters are implemented (the comprehensive list of blocked labels are made) the conformity of the label with the requirement of good morality is checked beginning with the day of Application submission and ending on the day the agreement is entered into.
SECTION IV
SUBMISSION OF APPLICATIONS
19. Applications shall be submitted only in electronic form after having registered in the Application Processing System used by the Administrator.
20. The registration in the Application Processing System is done by filling in online form provided on the Administrator’s website.
