Next consultation round for 2025

Have your say on .nz Rules change

UPDATE: 26 September 2025 — We have granted an extension to accept submissions until Wednesday, 1 October, at 5pm.

We are proposing some updates to the .nz Rules that govern .nz domain names, and we’d like your feedback. 

The proposed changes include:

• Updates to align the language through introducing uniform terms in our .nz Rules and our agreements.

• Updates to reflect a new Domain Lock product (a security feature that protects against domain names being transferred or altered without permission)

• Amendments to enhance the accuracy of data in the .nz Register of domain names.

The consultation period will open on 1 September and close at 5pm on 26 September 2025 (extension granted to 1 October, 5pm). All consultation material and information on how to make a submission will be available on our consultations webpage.
