ORG, like EDU, MIL, GOV, NET, and COM as well as the root of
the name servers is currently handled by the Network Information
Center at SRI.  The key to getting a domain registered is to
have somewhere for your servers to be.  If you are on the Internet
you can register your own server and find someone else to be your
backup.  If you are in UUCP-land, BITNET, or the non-internet part
of CSNET, you can contact appropriate people on those networks who
will provide Internet servers for you.  In either case, once you
get the servers, you fill out a piece of electronic form and mail
it to REGISTRAR@SRI-NIC.ARPA
