Dot.Gov in Michigan Dot Gov Domain Names. Michigan has been dealing with this so I was glad to some "standards" created.  The stimulas in Michigan was the city of Dundee.  They are home to Cabello's  and having a web adress will be helpful to them.  Dundee.com was grabbed years ago by by a town in Endgland.  [David Fletcher's Government and Technology Weblog]  Several years ago, GSA was charged with managing the .gov domain by the Federal Networking Council.  Fortunately, Utah had obtained the utah.gov domain prior to that time.  Today, GSA finalized rules associated with dot gov.  The rule includes recommendations for local government domain names.  GSA's registration service can be found at http://www.nic.gov/ .  In Utah, we are recommending for consistency and easy recognition that local governments register through utah.gov with the format "provo.utah.gov" or utahcounty.utah.gov".  Al Sherwood is the registrar for the Utah.gov domain. It will be interesting to see how it plays out in Michigan comment [] Google It! 3:02:27 PM
