RegistryPro is pleased to announce that ICANN has posted RegistryPro's proposal to make various changes to our contract for 30 days of public comment. This proposal was created after several months of focused work with ICANN, our Advisory Board, current and prospective registrars and registrants, and it represents the cornerstone of RegistryPro's vision for the evolution of the dotPRO TLD. The complete proposal is now available at ICANN's .pro Announcement

Proposed changes include:


Allowing all credentialed professionals to access the dotPRO TLD
Allowing all registrants to register second level resolving domains
Implementation of a Terms of Use agreement
Nine new profession specific second level domains
A reconfiguration of the RegistryPro Advisory Board
Additionally, the new Registry Services Request #2008003 for the release of three character numeric second level domains have also been posted
RegistryPro and EnCirca encourage your participation in the 30 day public comment period. EnCirca's ProForwarding clients will be transitioned to the new rules at no extra charge once the new rules take effect.

Advisory Board Supports Changes to ICANN Agreement
Posted: Tuesday, February 05, 2008

RegistryPro鈥檚 Advisory Board has issued a statement supporting several proposed modifications to our agreement with ICANN. The complete proposal, which includes changes to dotPRO registration restrictions, new profession-specific second level domains, and a restructuring of the Board itself, was drafted by the registry over several months with guidance from ICANN and input from professionals throughout the world. It was approved by the RegistryPro Advisory Board in late January.

In his letter to ICANN, Board Chair Steven Wright wrote: 鈥淭he Advisory Board discussed these and the other changes in the amendment package in two telephone conferences, in November and December 2007, with further discussion by email. A vote was held in January 2008, and the proposal to support RegistryPro's proposed amendments was adopted without dissent.鈥?br />

The proposal has been sent to ICANN for preliminary review and staff comment.
