Complaints

The NF ccTLD has adopted the CoCCA Complaint Resolution Service (CRS). The CoCCA CRS provides a transparent, efficient and cost effective way for the public, law enforcement, regulatory bodies, and intellectual property owners to have their concerns regarding use of a TLD managers services addressed.

The CoCCA CRS addresses not only rights to a particular domain but also the registrant's use of that domain. Policies apply recursively, and are applicable not only to the domains in the registry but apply equally to any subordinate domain created by the registrant.

The registrants' licence to use a domain requires them to comply with the applicable AUP, a failure to do so or remedy an AUP breach if requested, may result in a suspension of a domain and its removal from the zone.

Any party who believes a domain name registrant has violated a participating TLD manager’s AUP must provide a formal complaint in order for CoCCA to investigate and evaluate the claim or complaint.

Complaint Form

If you have an urgent complaint regarding the distribution of child abuse images in the .nf ccTLD please lodge a complaint with both law enforecment and the Internet Watch Foundation. The IWF and/or Law enforcment will confrim the issue and notify CoCCA ( the NIDS register services provider) for possible action.

In cases where CoCCA or NIDS has a technical or legal capacity, we will act swiftly on an IWF notice without the need for a formal complaint using the CRS above.

To lodge a complaint email crs@coccaregistry.org
