Such a short name is less likely to be impacted by change of Government machinery (e.g. Ministries). However if the short name is common for more than one agency (e.g. health, education, labour, etc.) the agency type (Min, Dept, etc) should be suffixed/prefixed with the domain name. e.g. labourdept.gov.lk, labourmin.gov.lk . 03020502: Abbreviations could be used when they are easy to remember (moe, mof, mod, mia etc). This is more appropriate for agencies with permanent existence (e.g. departments) 03020503: Prefix or suffix D or M could be used to denote Department or Ministry and letter “O” could be inserted to denote “Of” within an abbreviation to make it more memorisable. e.g. moe.gov.lk for Ministry of Education. 17
