DNS Structure: New Top Level Domains

About Dot-Pro

.pro -- for professionals

.pro is for professions such as law, medicine, accounting, etc., and is run by RegistryPro, a for-profit company. This has some potential if the professionals can be convinced to use it, and if there can be sufficient policing to prevent con artists who are not actually accredited as professionals from abusing it. (Let's hope the professional credentials are checked better than trademarks were checked during the .info rollout!) Its structure will have registrations take place at the third level, within domains like med.pro and law.pro.

.pro has finally concluded its negotiation process with ICANN, and the agreement is fully in place at the ICANN site. Progress was stalled for a long time, and even seemed to be going backwards, because the registry announced that it wished to make significant changes in the agreement, specifically to reduce the amount of money it agreed to spend in promoting the new domain. This led some commentators to suggest that ICANN approval should be revoked and given to a different applicant instead, rather than letting them change the terms they agreed to in their original application. This TLD is now in last place in the race to launch, but is finally limping onto the track. It finally made it into the root as of May, 2002, but reportedly won't actually launch registrations until the late part of the year, or maybe even 2003.
