.br (Brazil) domain is the Internet country code top-level domain ( ccTLD ) for Brazil . It was administered by the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (Comitê Gestor da Internet no Brasil) until 2005 and now it's administered by Brazilian Network Information Center (Núcleo de Informação e Coordenação do Ponto br). A local contact is required for any Brazil domain registration. Brazil domain registrations with Portuguese characters are also accepted. Except possible for universities, the second level domain is fixed and defines the category. For example, site.art.br is in the art (music, folklore, etc.) category, and othersite.org.br is in the Non-governmental Brazil organization category. Institutions of third level education for Brazil were allowed to use the second level domain and .edu.br, although some use .com.br. There are also some other few exceptions that were allowed to use the second level domain until the end of 2000. As of February 2007, most Brazil domain registrations ignore categories and register in the .br.com domain, which has over 90% of all registered domains.
