REPLY to Timo: What will second level do to my third level????

["Hakon Haugnes" <hakon@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Jong Chul,

The third level domains will continue to co-exist alongside the second level
domain names. All the second level domain names on which one or more third
level domains are registered, will be shared for the unique purpose of third
level registrations. Therefore, if you have registered a third level domain
name, the shared second level cannot be registered as a second level domain
name. Thus, all shared second level domain names will continue to be shared
for third level registrations.

As per your example, this means that if you have registered the name
usa.usa.name, it will not be possible, not for anyone, to register the
second level domain usa.name, since it is shared by one or several third
levels. (Note, however, that you may want to register your personal name
instead, jong.chul.name or chul.name, as per the .name Eligibility
Requirements, if your personal name is not Usa Usa).

In other words, your existing third level domain registration is not
impacted in any way by any second level domain registration, and its
functionality remains unaltered.

I hope this answers your question,

Best regards,
