Background
Upon its establishment in March 1997, the .ht ccTLD was delegated by Dr.
Jon Postel (then in charge of the IANA function at the Information Sciences
Institute) to Jean Claude Filien, of HINTELFOCUS, as administrative
contact, and Domain Administrator, of HINTELFOCUS, as the technical
contact.
In March 2002, ICANN received an expression of interest to redelegate the
.ht ccTLD to the Consortium FDS/RDDH. The Government of Haiti
supported this request. The Haiti Government, through the Haitian Ministry
of Public Works, Transport and Communications (MTPTC), recognized
Consortium FDS/RDDH as the appropriate delegee for the .ht ccTLD, and
expressed an interest to have Consortium FDS/RDDH formally recognized
by ICANN as the delegee for the .ht ccTLD
Formal Request of the Consortium FDS/RDDH for Redelegation of .ht TopLevel Domain – Approved January 2004
Operations : May 19, 2004
