Domain names provide a system of easy-to-remember text-based Internet addresses, which can be translated by the DNS into the numeric addresses (IP numbers) used by the network. A domain name is hierarchical and often conveys information about the type of entity using the domain name. A domain name is simply a label that represents a domain, which is a subset of the total domain name space. Domain names at the same level of the hierarchy must be unique. For example, there can be only one .org at the top-level of the hierarchy and only one pir.org domain name at the next level of the hierarchy<\/p>\n                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                <div id=\"domain-name-system-dns-\"\n                    class=\"glossary-index-D glossary-item glossary-item-container\">\n                    <div class=\"glossary-item-header\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                        aria-controls=\"glossary-item-body-10\">\n                        <p class=\"glossary-item-title \">\n                            Domain Name System (DNS)                        <\/p>\n                        <a role=\"button\" id=\"glossary-item-button-10\" class=\"gloss-btn\">\n                            <div class=\"icon-container\" id=\"glossary-item-down-10\" hidden>\n                                <span class=\"material-icons notranslate mdc-fab__icon\">expand_less<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"icon-container\" id=\"glossary-item-up-10\" >\n                                <span class=\"material-icons notranslate mdc-fab__icon\">expand_more<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div id=\"glossary-item-body-10\" class=\"glossary-item-body\" hidden>\n                        <p>\n                            <p>The Domain Name System or DNS is a hierarchical system by which easy-to-remember, text-based names such as \u201cpir.org\u201d are associated with numeric Internet locations<\/p>\n                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                <div id=\"epp\"\n                    class=\"glossary-index-E glossary-item glossary-item-container\">\n                    <div class=\"glossary-item-header\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                        aria-controls=\"glossary-item-body-11\">\n                        <p class=\"glossary-item-title \">\n                            EPP                        <\/p>\n                        <a role=\"button\" id=\"glossary-item-button-11\" class=\"gloss-btn\">\n                            <div class=\"icon-container\" id=\"glossary-item-down-11\" hidden>\n                                <span class=\"material-icons notranslate mdc-fab__icon\">expand_less<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"icon-container\" id=\"glossary-item-up-11\" >\n                                <span class=\"material-icons notranslate mdc-fab__icon\">expand_more<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div id=\"glossary-item-body-11\" class=\"glossary-item-body\" hidden>\n                        <p>\n                            <p>See <a href=\"#extensible-provisioning-protocol-epp-\">Extensible Provisioning Protocol<\/a><\/p>\n                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                <div id=\"extensible-markup-language-xml-\"\n                    class=\"glossary-index-E glossary-item glossary-item-container\">\n                    <div class=\"glossary-item-header\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                        aria-controls=\"glossary-item-body-12\">\n                        <p class=\"glossary-item-title \">\n                            Extensible Markup Language (XML)                        <\/p>\n                        <a role=\"button\" id=\"glossary-item-button-12\" class=\"gloss-btn\">\n                            <div class=\"icon-container\" id=\"glossary-item-down-12\" hidden>\n                                <span class=\"material-icons notranslate mdc-fab__icon\">expand_less<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"icon-container\" id=\"glossary-item-up-12\" >\n                                <span class=\"material-icons notranslate mdc-fab__icon\">expand_more<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div id=\"glossary-item-body-12\" class=\"glossary-item-body\" hidden>\n                        <p>\n                            <p>Extensible Markup Language or XML is a markup language used for documents containing structured information.

The SRS includes an isolated, shared OT&amp;E server environment that is used for both initial registrar system development and ongoing registrar development and testing. Prior to operation in the live SRS, registrars must complete a basic functional evaluation in the OT&amp;E environment to demonstrate full and correct operation of their client systems. The evaluation must be completed without error before registrars are given access to the Production SRS. For Public Interest Registry, in addition to the OT&amp;E testing process described above, there are specialized OT&amp;E testing processes for DNSSEC as well as an optional OT&amp;E testing process for use of Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs)<\/p>\n                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                <div id=\"rfc\"\n                    class=\"glossary-index-R glossary-item glossary-item-container\">\n                    <div class=\"glossary-item-header\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                        aria-controls=\"glossary-item-body-32\">\n                        <p class=\"glossary-item-title \">\n                            RFC                        <\/p>\n                        <a role=\"button\" id=\"glossary-item-button-32\" class=\"gloss-btn\">\n                            <div class=\"icon-container\" id=\"glossary-item-down-32\" hidden>\n                                <span class=\"material-icons notranslate mdc-fab__icon\">expand_less<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"icon-container\" id=\"glossary-item-up-32\" >\n                                <span class=\"material-icons notranslate mdc-fab__icon\">expand_more<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div id=\"glossary-item-body-32\" class=\"glossary-item-body\" hidden>\n                        <p>\n                            <p>See <a href=\"#request-for-comment-rfc-\">Request for Comment<\/a><\/p>\n                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                <div id=\"rrp\"\n                    class=\"glossary-index-R glossary-item glossary-item-container\">\n                    <div class=\"glossary-item-header\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                        aria-controls=\"glossary-item-body-33\">\n                        <p class=\"glossary-item-title \">\n                            RRP                        <\/p>\n                        <a role=\"button\" id=\"glossary-item-button-33\" class=\"gloss-btn\">\n                            <div class=\"icon-container\" id=\"glossary-item-down-33\" hidden>\n                                <span class=\"material-icons notranslate mdc-fab__icon\">expand_less<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"icon-container\" id=\"glossary-item-up-33\" >\n                                <span class=\"material-icons notranslate mdc-fab__icon\">expand_more<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div id=\"glossary-item-body-33\" class=\"glossary-item-body\" hidden>\n                        <p>\n                            <p>See <a href=\"#registry-registrar-protocol-rrp-\">Registry Registrar Protocol<\/a><\/p>\n                        <\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                                <div id=\"registrant\"\n                    class=\"glossary-index-R glossary-item glossary-item-container\">\n                    <div class=\"glossary-item-header\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\n                        aria-controls=\"glossary-item-body-34\">\n                        <p class=\"glossary-item-title \">\n                            Registrant                        <\/p>\n                        <a role=\"button\" id=\"glossary-item-button-34\" class=\"gloss-btn\">\n                            <div class=\"icon-container\" id=\"glossary-item-down-34\" hidden>\n                                <span class=\"material-icons notranslate mdc-fab__icon\">expand_less<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"icon-container\" id=\"glossary-item-up-34\" >\n                                <span class=\"material-icons notranslate mdc-fab__icon\">expand_more<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n                        <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n                    <div id=\"glossary-item-body-34\" class=\"glossary-item-body\" hidden>\n                        <p>\n                            <p>A registrant is an individual or organisation that registers a specific domain name.
