Eligibility Guidelines for a Name within ACAD.MD and RENAM.MD
RENAM publish the guidelines used to determine eligibility of organisations for a name in the ACAD.md and RENAM.mddomain.
An institution or organisation may register one or more names in the ac.uk domain provided that it satisfies at least one of the following criteria:
Where necessary, the assessment that the “core activities” or “primary purpose” fits one or more of the categories above will be determined from the institution’s or organisation’s Certificate or equivalent document.
Rules for the choice of a domain name
An organisation may take out as many names within the acad.md or renam.md domain as it wishes, subject to the following constraints which will apply to each name requested.
Subject to these constraints, names will be approved on a “first come, first served” basis.Should these rules be revised at a later date, existing registrations will remain valid even if they would otherwise fall outside the revised rules.If a name is allocated as a result of misrepresentation on the part of the requester or its principal, RENAM administration reserves the right to withdraw the allocated name. In such a circumstance there will be no compensation for costs (direct or indirect) incurred by the organisation as a result of the need to rename.
