successive settlement period,

change is additionally sent to a deleted address.

entrusted with the task of taking over the operation of the gov.pl domain
registry, which maintains names for the Polish governmental institutions and
organizations.
NASK, the administrator of the .pl domain registry, was chosen to take charge
of the operation of the gov.pl domain because of its significant administrative
