- As a rule, DNS requests should be under the organizational subdomain (creating them as necessary). For example, if Information Services wants a www prefix, then the appropriate DNS request is www.infotech.wsu.edu.
- If, however, a unit wishes to request an exception to this rule and wants to fall under the root domain of wsu.edu (www.wsu.edu in the previous example), the process is as follows:
- Submit, in writing, a request for exception giving justification as to why:
- Using the subdomain rule is unacceptable
- Why they should be allowed to use that DNS name
- Why they believe no other WSU entity has an equal or greater legitimate right (nor or in the future) to that DNS name.
- The Director of Customer Service and the Director of University Web Communication, or their designee, will submit the request to the Web Advisory Committee to review and approve/decline the exception request and make a decision within two business daysdomain request.
- Submit, in writing, a request for exception giving justification as to why:
- Requests originating from within IS under the authority of the CIO and/or the Deputy CIO, as well as the Director of University Web Communications (or their designee) are exempt from this process but accept full responsibility for any conflicts that may arise.
