ADG helps TLD operators run compliance, reporting, launch, registrar, trust and safety, continuity, data governance, and public-service functions through one coordinated operating model.
BEYOND RSP SERVICES
An RSP keeps critical registry functions running. A TLD operator must also manage policy, registrars, reporting, rights protection, DNS abuse, continuity, data, public communications, and changing requirements.
Managed Registry Operations brings this work into a control calendar, escalation paths, evidence trails, and reporting cadence that ADG can run with your team.

Coordinate launch phases and rights-protection mechanisms from policy preparation through General Availability.
Build the intake, evidence assessment, mitigation, decision logging, and periodic analysis function for DNS abuse.
Manage operational and commercial registrar relationships from testing to production support and performance reviews.
Prepare the registry for disruption, recovery, RSP changes, or operator transitions without obscuring responsibilities between parties.
Operate the public channels and data services needed by registrars, registrants, the community, and other stakeholders.
Define how registration data is collected, used, protected, retained, accessed, and disclosed under controlled processes.
Prepare the namespace, systems, and service channels for internationalised domain names and multilingual user experiences.
ENGAGEMENT MODELS
ADG can lead the agreed functions or work as an extension of an existing registry team.
Assessment, policy mapping, control design, runbooks, and a roadmap for teams that will operate the work internally.
For teams that need initial design and validation.
ADG runs selected functions with your team through a clear RACI, calendar, ticketing system, review cadence, and escalation path.
For operators retaining substantial internal control.
One service desk and governance cadence coordinating compliance, registrars, trust and safety, reporting, continuity, and registry vendors.
For operators needing sustained operational capacity.
OPERATING RHYTHM
Receive a report, change, request, or new obligation and identify its urgency and owner.
Review evidence, contractual impact, technical risk, data, and consequences for registrars and registrants.
Execute the approved action and coordinate the operator, RSP, registrar, vendor, or other relevant party.
Capture the decision, evidence, response time, action outcome, and required reporting.
Review trends, control gaps, SLAs, and policy changes to improve the next cycle.
CLEAR RESPONSIBILITY BOUNDARIES
ADG acts as coordinator and operator for the agreed scope. Managed Registry Operations may include commercial operations such as registrar onboarding, program configuration, billing, reporting, and performance reviews. Creative campaigns, paid media, demand generation, direct sales, and revenue-target ownership are not included by default. Functions that rules require an authorised party to perform or approve remain with that party.
Every activity has an accountable owner, operator, approver, evidence requirement, SLA, and escalation path.
ADG integrates mandatory third-party workflows without claiming a status or authority it does not hold.
Scope, support hours, service levels, data access, and each party's obligations are defined in the agreement.
Delivery follows the applicable Registry Agreement, Consensus Policies, technical standards, law, and relevant operator policies.
Tell us about your TLD, RSP, registrars, team, systems, and current obligations. We will help map the gaps, division of responsibility, and an operating model that fits.
