Abstract: .gov is a ‘top-level domain’ (TLD), similar to .com, .org, or .us. Enterprises use a TLD to register a “domain name” (often simply called a domain) for use in their online services, like a website or email. Well-known .gov domains include whitehouse.gov, congress.gov, or uscourts.gov, but most .gov domains are from non-federal governments like ny.gov (State of New York) or lacounty.gov (LA County). .gov is only available to bona fide U.S.-based government organizations and publicly controlled entities. When governments use .gov, they make it harder for would-be impostors to successfully impersonate them online. Under the DOTGOV Act of 2020 (6 U.S.C. § 665), CISA is responsible for the operation and security of the .gov TLD. Pursuant to that law, the .gov program at CISA works to “provide simple and secure registration of .gov internet domains”, “ensure that domains are registered and maintained only by authorized individuals”, and “minimize the risk of .gov internet domains whose names could mislead or confuse users”. In order to provision .gov domains to eligible government entities and ensure adherence to the domain requirements published by CISA pursuant to 6 U.S.C. § 665(c), CISA needs to collect information from requestors of .gov domains.
