The domain was added in 1990 by the Network Information Center for use by NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, based on the rationale that none of the then-existing top-level domains adequately reflected its status as an international organization. Soon after this addition, however, Paul Mockapetris, the designer of the DNS, suggested to NATO representatives that nato.int would be a better choice.1998-11-25 Transcript Part III - EC-POP Meeting with ICANN Board Members https://www.icann.org/en/board-activities-and-meetings/materials/transcript-part-iii-ec-pop-meeting-with-icann-board-members-25-11-1998-en 2022-12-23 www.icann.org The TLD .int was created for the use of international organizations, and NATO switched to using nato.int.
