The .PRO Discussion

[InvisionTech]

It seems .PRO is slowly coming out of the cage with cheaper reg prices than they were a year ago and major registrars like netsol taking notice of the extension and promoting it.

Here are some that I picked up in last couple of days:

Alexandria.pro

Anchorage.pro

Arlington.pro

Belfast.pro

Birmingham.pro

Budapest.pro

Durham.pro

Fairfax.pro

Italian.pro

Lisbon.pro

Fire away with your regs after the relaunch on September 8th, 2008.

Having multiple threads discussing .pro is counter productive.

Both for people following the conversation or wanting to join in and this leads to multiple threads being started with the same topics.

I think a single thread for discussing .pro is the best way forward and hence have merged the threads.

I know that some .pro has been sold by members here. how and where did you sold it?

 

[scandiman]

So how have you .pro registrants been qualifying to keep the names? What official govt licensing credentials are you using?

I have a company registered in the US which is licensed by the local county government.

Is this acceptable to the .pro registry?

 

[Terrains]

I have a real estate salesperson license for my state, it works and it works for all domains that have nothing to do with real estate.

I don't see why not? It is a registered company and licensed by the government.

If that didn't work I don't know what will...

Our opinions don't matter, it's the opinion of the registry that counts. I'm asking what experience people have had in proving their worthiness to hold the registration and if the registry accepts a simple business license as enough documentation.

What is implied in their terms is the need for a professional license that is mandated by the govt, such as a doctor, accountant, real estate agent, or architect.

Of course our opinion does not matter but registry's own TOS says this:

The Service is made available to you for your professional use only. As such, you agree that you are a person or entity who provides professional services and has been admitted to or licensed by, and is in good standing with, a government certification body or jurisdictional licensing entity recognized by a governmental body, which body requires that its members be licensed or admitted to a certifying or licensing entity and regularly verifies the accuracy of its data.

I've read the ToS and thats why I am saying that governmentally licensed company seems like the way to go when it comes to registering .PRO domains. However since information is stil muddy, I suggest emailing the registry directly to get the right answer:

Legal Information
[email protected]

Public Relations
[email protected]

Technical Support
[email protected]

Once you submit the data only then your domain name resolves and once it is accepted only then it is able to resolve.

They have yet to conduct an audit. 1% will be checked Sept. of 2009. Until then, nobody really knows for sure what will fly or not.

However, if you are recognized by a government agency I highly doubt they will come after you.

Have anyone of you got an email from Registrypro.pro that wants you to enter your Professional Verification Information? I got a email today.. :S

 

[Terrains]

Yes, everybody receives that e-mail for their .PRO domains. You have to confirm a government granted license or else your domain will be taken away from you.
