Proposed, not in force
Open for comment until 28 October 2026, 00:00 UTC. Nothing here binds anyone until it is adopted.
Scope
This is the policy of gelhaus, GOpenCDR's test TLD, which Gelhaus Solutions operates. It adds to the global policies and is stricter where it says so.
Registration
Registration in gelhaus is by invitation only.
An invitation can be revoked until it is used, and lapses on the date it names, 30 days after it is issued unless it says otherwise.
Names in gelhaus are free, and need nothing but an account with a verified email address.
Nothing here is a promise
Names, zones and the data in them may be changed, reset or removed at any time, all at once if need be, and the TLD may be closed. Every such step is recorded in the transparency log, and holders of names are told by email, without notice in advance.
The root trust anchor is a test anchor under P-2 8.2, and no service level applies.
The zone
A name enters the gelhaus zone with at least 1 nameserver, as P-4 2.3 allows a test TLD.
The gelhaus zone uses NSEC for denial of existence and goes to enrolled mirrors.
gelhaus has published no second-level rules for internationalised names, so it accepts none.
Rule idn.lgr_required.
Contact
Reports of abuse under gelhaus go to egelhaus@ennogelhaus.de with Abuse in the subject line, as the acceptable use policy says, and Gelhaus Solutions acts on them within the times P-8 sets.
