TTBOMK, .nz has always had levels.

We adopted the UK model .co.nz rather than .com.nz

There's a few tricky 2LD's floating in the .nz namespace. See if you can
spot them and guess what they do:

.co.nz
.net.nz (was once restricted - even just 2 years ago? - but is now open)
.org.nz
.gen.nz
.mil.nz
.govt.nz
.cri.nz
.iwi.nz
.school.nz
.ac.nz

Did I get them all, DPF?

Possibly coming soon is a (very) restricted TLD

.bank.nz

The restrictions prevent me from getting sperm.bank.nz :^(

school.nz is unrestricted, allowing sex.school.nz and girls.school.nz

barcelona.com stolen, stmoritz.com stays. What's uniform about the UDRP?
We could ask ICANN to send WIPO a clue, but do they have any to spare?
