Public Suffix List (PSL) Submission

Checklist of required steps

  • Description of Organization

  • Robust Reason for PSL Inclusion

  • DNS verification via dig

  • Each domain listed in the PRIVATE section has and shall maintain at least two years remaining on registration, and we shall keep the _psl TXT record in place in the respective zone(s).

Submitter affirms the following:

  • We are listing any third-party limits that we seek to work around in our rationale such as those between iOS 14.5+ and Facebook (see Issue #1245 as a well-documented example)
  • Cloudflare
  • Let's Encrypt
  • MAKE SURE TO UPDATE THE FOLLOWING LIST WITH YOUR LIMITATIONS! REMOVE ENTRIES WHICH DO NOT APPLY AS WELL AS REMOVING THIS LINE!
  • This request was not submitted with the objective of working around other third-party limits.
  • The submitter acknowledges that it is their responsibility to maintain the domains within their section. This includes removing names which are no longer used, retaining the _psl DNS entry, and responding to e-mails to the supplied address. Failure to maintain entries may result in removal of individual entries or the entire section.
  • The Guidelines were carefully read and understood, and this request conforms to them.
  • The submission follows the Guidelines on formatting and sorting.
  • A role-based email address has been used and this inbox is actively monitored with a response time of no more than 30 days.

Abuse Contact:


For PRIVATE section requests that are submitting entries for domains that match their organization website's primary domain, please understand that this can have impacts that may not match the desired outcome and take a long time to roll back, if at all.

To ensure that requested changes are entirely intentional, make sure that you read the affectation and propagation expectations, that you understand them, and confirm this understanding.

PR Rollbacks have lower priority, and the volunteers are unable to control when or if browsers or other parties using the PSL will refresh or update.

(Link: about propagation/expectations)

  • Yes, I understand. I could break my organization's website cookies and cause other issues, and the rollback timing is acceptable. Proceed anyway.

Description of Organization

NIXI is managed and operated on a Neutral basis, in line with the best practices for such initiatives globally.

some approval elements to note from my research:

  • submitter identical to prior submitter
  • https://registry.in/policies lists these four as items 39-42 on the list of approved registry namespaces
  • registry.in (nixi) is the party identified in the IANA .in page as the registration provider.
