From 1 April 2018, all the work of InternetNZ and NZRS is being streamlined under one banner; InternetNZ.

The NZRS name will cease to exist, and its people and services have been merged into InternetNZ.��

While this change is occurring for our colleagues in InternetNZ, The Domain Name Commission has also focused in on its independent role overseeing the .nz domain name space and administering the .nz dispute resolution service.��

They have a smaller Board which means .nz policy development is now the responsibility of InternetNZ. It is setting up a new .nz policy committee to decide policy, fees and commercial terms (with input and advice from the community). ��

The rationale for these changes is to simplify how Internet users work with us, and to improve the effectiveness of our part in governance and management of the Internet. The background work on these changes is detailed here [https://internetnz.nz/blog/changing-internetnz-our-organisational-review]

Our vision remains the same: a better world through a better Internet.
