Thanks for the note. I have updated the submission to use a role-based contact address (support@gamdns.gm) per guidelines.

Hello @bubacarrsowe
Given the substantial number of suffixes being proposed for inclusion in the PSL, proper justification is required. Please note that, per https://github.com/publicsuffix/list/wiki/Guidelines:
That said, you’re welcome to resubmit once your user base actively using the service has grown! |

These are not proper _psl TXT records. Please make sure you follow the Guidelines carefully. https://github.com/publicsuffix/list/wiki/Guidelines |

@groundcat Thank you for the review and feedback. The email issue is fixed, so is the PLS TXT records and the sorting of the names. We understand and respect the guideline regarding scale and active usage. GamDNS operates as a national registry-style service for structured second-level domains under .gm, intended for public-facing registrations (e.g. ngo.gm, sch.gm, law.gm) rather than a private or experimental namespace. While current public web hosting usage is still limited, these SLDs are actively being rolled out and promoted, with expected adoption by organisations, schools, NGOs, and professionals over the coming period. The intent is long-term, stable use rather than a temporary or test deployment. If the project does not yet meet the required usage threshold, we fully understand if this request needs to be deferred. In that case, please consider this PR as an early verification of structure and ownership, and we would be happy to resubmit once adoption has grown. We appreciate the guidance and are grateful for your time reviewing the submission. |

@bubacarrsowe to pass the sorting guidelines, this entry will need to locate it in the private section, such that the org name is sorted within the other orgs (in this case GamDNS). Please relocate this to the appropriate spot in the PRIVATE section so it can be considered.

Entries have been moved to the correct location in the PRIVATE section. Thank you for the guidance!

Thank you for the updates, @bubacarrsowe. However, your response regarding user count is still too vague. You mentioned "current public web hosting usage is still limited" and "expected adoption" but did not provide any concrete numbers. How many subdomains are currently active under each of the seven SLDs you're requesting (gam.gm, blog.gm, sch.gm, ngo.gm, law.gm, name.gm, nam.gm)? Please break this down individually. Phrases like "still limited," "actively being rolled out," and "expected adoption" suggest this may be a premature request. If you cannot provide specific current usage numbers demonstrating substantial active use, this PR should be deferred until your service has grown to meet the scale requirements.

Add Gambia SLDs to PRIVATE DOMAINS
Checklist of required steps
_pslTXT record in place in the respective zone(s).Description of Organization
Organization Website: https://gamdns.gm
GamDNS is a DNS and domain services provider in The Gambia. We operate authoritative DNS servers, manage domain registrations under the .gm TLD, and provide services such as subdomain delegation, backups, and TLS certificate issuance using Lets Encrypt.
This submission is made by Bubacarr Sowe, the founder and operator of GamDNS, responsible for managing the domains in this request.
Reason for PSL Inclusion
These domains (gam.gm, blog.gm, sch.gm, ngo.gm, law.gm, name.gm, nam.gm,) are publicly registrable second-level domains (SLDs) in The Gambia that require inclusion in the PSL so that browsers, certificate authorities (e.g., Let's Encrypt), and other software correctly handle cookie scoping and TLS issuance.
The domains are actively maintained with multi-year registration, and
_pslTXT records have been added for verification.Including these domains in the PRIVATE section ensures proper isolation for subdomains and prevents misinterpretation as top-level domains by software relying on the PSL.
Number of users this request is being made to serve: internal GamDNS clients; publicly registrable SLDs may be used by clients in The Gambia.
