Internet GOV Domain refers to the Internet top-level domain ``dot- gov'' operated by the General Services Administration for the registration of U.S. government-related domain names. In general, these names reflect the organization names in the Federal Government and non- Federal government entities in the United States. These names are now being used to promote government services and increase the ease of finding these services.
