Since nobody answered this, let me make some remarks... I have a question and maybe you guys know an answer for it... we are a belgian company and we are very interested in running our own domain registration for .be domains... or even for .com,.net or .org domains... There are already a lot of .com,net.org domain registration companies but for .be there is only ONE... is it possible to have 2 official domain registers in one company ? We would like to be one... You should make a difference to a registry and a registrar. Normally, a TLD can only have one registry and 1 or more registrars. I'm not sure, but I think that the Belgians are running a conbined registry/registrar model. I suppose we have to pay quite a lot for it but we have financial investors to realise this project... we are also interested to become a .com,net,org domain register... Could you tell me where i have to with these questions ? See http://www.icaan.org, the specific rules are spelled out at the page located at http://www.icann.org/registrars/accreditation.htm. jaap
