do you own any .pro domains? they are now in second stage so any profession from any country can now register them. I have a large portfolio of .pro and some really nice ones, now reg as opened up I'm going to start listing some for sale. you can register .pro very easy at www.encirca.com if you hurry, they have a end of year sale on, only $14.99 (normally $25 so, do you own any? what is your opinion of .pro?
The eligibility rules to obtain a .pro are still strict so it is risky to build a website on a .pro extension. On the plus side, if someone (a competitor?) challenges your eligibility it will cost them at least $500 to file a challenge. Eligibility: http://registrypro.pro/nextphase/tou.htm "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."

What about geo.pro domains? If I register my city name dot pro. Is there someone who can take it from me? Can someone explain a pro policy shortly?
.pro is basically another generic grab from ICANN and registrars, but it's limited to professional services, buisnesses and products only.
All the good domain names are mostly taken by people who don't have a clue how much they are worth. Case in point, Insurance.pro What is that company thinking???? All4U, can you send me a list of the domains you own and are considering putting up for sale please? Dan
