RE: [registrars] .pro and introducing Cassidy Kolbet

[Elana Broitman <ebroitman@register.com>]

Mike - that's a great question, and I will provide the answer because of my
previous involvement with the application.  This is among the issues that
RegistryPro is discussing with ICANN.  The application actually includes
this type of offering (for example, please refer to the response to E17).  I
am sure that Sloan and Cassidy will brief the constituency further on .pro
issues, upon further roll out.

Regards, Elana

Elana:

I heard a rumor in LA that RegistryPro would be opening up registrations to
registrants at the second level <domain.pro> instead of only the third level
as original stated in its application (i.e. domain.law.pro and
domain.med.pro>. This seems to be inconsistent with RegistryPro's original
application to ICANN, and the RegistryPro's related marketing material
produced at INTA and other trade shows. Could Sloan, Cassidy or yourself
provide any insight to this matter as the difference between marketing
second and third level domains are significant.

Mike
