with registration record dated 8th June 1987. MY means Malaysia to the Internet community globally and locally. The use of "MY" as SLD in new gTLDs would give the perception that the domain names in question belong to or are related to Malaysia and the Malaysian
community.</span><span style="letter-spacing:1.0pt"></span></p>

public interest, including the interest of the Internet community, on behalf of the relevant public authorities including governments, who ultimately have public policy authority over their ccTLDs, consistent with universal connectivity of the Internet. In
this context, "MY" officially represents the ccTLD for Malaysia and it is operated in trust by MYNIC Berhad as the duly appointed Registry pursuant to national laws by the Malaysian Communications & Multimedia Commission (</span><span style="letter-spacing:1.0pt">MCMC)

</span></b><span style="font-size:7.0pt; line-height:150%; font-family:"Corbel","sans-serif"; color:#A6A6A6">The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission is the regulator for the converging communications and multimedia industry in Malaysia. At the
time it was created, its key role was to regulate the communications and multimedia industry based on the powers provided in the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission Act 1998 (Act 589) and the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998 (Act 588).
Pursuant to these Acts, the role of the Commission is to implement and promote the Government's national policy objectives for the communications and multimedia sector. The Commission is also charged with overseeing the new regulatory framework for the converging
industries of telecommunications, broadcasting and on-line activities. On 1 November 2001, the Commission took over the regulation of the Postal Industry pursuant to the Postal Services Act 1991 (Act 465) and was appointed the Certifying Agency under the Digital
Signature Act 1997 (Act 562). <span style="letter-spacing:1.0pt"></span></span></p>
