The domain name registry and sponsor is Norid, but .bv is not open for registration. .bv was designated on 21 August 1997 and was placed under the .no registry Norid. Norwegian policy states that .no is sufficient for those institutions connected to Bouvet Island, and therefore the domain is not open to registration. It is Norwegian policy not to commercialize domain resources, so there are no plans to sell .bv. Should the domain later come into use, it will be under the regulation of the Norwegian Communications Authority and follow the same policy as .no. History Bouvet Island is an uninhabited volcanic island in the South Atlantic Ocean. It was claimed by Norway in 1927.https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/bouvet-island/ https://web.archive.org/web/20210117064829/https://www.cia.gov/the-world-factbook/countries/bouvet-island/ dead 17 January 2021 Bouvet Island Central Intelligence Agency World Fact Book 5 September 2010 The domain was allocated on 21 August 1997,https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/bv.html Delegation Record for .SJ Internet Assigned Numbers Authority 13 November 2009 5 September 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100813161615/https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/bv.html 13 August 2010 live at the same time .sj was allocated for Svalbard and Jan Mayen.https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/sj.html Delegation Record for .BV Internet Assigned Numbers Authority 13 November 2009 5 September 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100812043000/https://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/sj.html 12 August 2010 live The allocation occurred because the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) assigns ccTLDs to all entities with an ISO 3166 code,http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1591 Domain Name System Structure and Delegation Postel J.
