Management

The Christmas Island Internet Administration is a community-owned non-profit company which also provides Internet service to the island's residents.

History

The .cx top-level domain was delegated on 23 April 1997 to Karinna Love of Planet Three Ltd., a company based in London, United Kingdom.

In 1999, the local Internet community on Christmas Island expressed interest in bringing the domain under local control. An organisation named "Dot CX Limited" was identified as the appropriate recipient, and in 2000 submitted documentation confirming the existing delegee's agreement to transfer control. cxDA is a not-for-profit, industry self-regulatory entity established in 2000 to administer the .cx ccTLD on behalf of the Christmas Island community.
