  Yes this is what I understand to be the case.  But in addition vinic.com
and Hi-tek.com also are preparing to launch the registration engine for
registering Domain Names for .VN very soon.  This wi what I was
referring to in my original post and I thought stated clearly though not
in these exact terms.  Hence the possible confusion?

  I was referring to the registration of Domain Names for the .VN ccTLD.
(See above as well as in my original post).  Possibly you misunderstood
or there is some other confusion?

As I understand it, Hi-Tek.com and vinic.com will be launching the
registration engine (HTML Interface Web Page) soon.  This is what
I was referring to.  In essence the link you provided has no such
registration engine available.  Is this incorrect?  If so, could you please
provide the URL that provides for registration of Domain Names
for the .VN ccTLD?  If my statement is correct than I submit that
there was a confusion as to how you may have interpreted what I
stated.  I still, as of now, stand by that original statement.

  Well they are very much linked here Stefan.  So, I am wondering if
such a comment was either necessary or advisable.

  My understanding is the the Vietnamese have already decided what
they want.  Is this also no correct?  If so, than is the launching of taking
registrations
and Hi-Tek's registration engine premature?  I don't think it is, but it might
be.

  I can understand you reluctance to a degree.  However I am under the
understanding that is may be unwarranted given Hi-Tek's pending launching
of taking registrations for the .VN ccTLD.  I hope that nothing here being
stated or discussed would impact that in any way though...  If in fact
however that there is some concern that would be a "Show Stopper"
for this to occur I am sure that Hi-Tek (Eric, Thomas, and Lee) would
be interested to know of it ASAP.  If not, than the launching should
proceed as currently decided, and as scheduled.

  I am only slightly aware of Register.com's interest, and was told that
the Vietnamese authorities on this matter were not interested for several
reasons.  Is this incorrect?
