RegistryPro Announces Official Sponsorship of 36th ICANN International Meeting in Seoul, South Korea
CHICAGO, Illinois, October 20, 2009 — RegistryPro, the exclusive operator of the .PRO top-level domain on the Internet, announced today it will serve as an official sponsor of the 36th ICANN International meeting in Seoul, South Korea, October 25-30, 2009. The Seoul meeting is the second public ICANN meeting sponsorship for .PRO, the only TLD reserved exclusively for business and service professionals.
“We’re excited to once again support the ICANN International Meeting,” said Catherine Sigmar, general manager of RegistryPro. “.PRO’s dramatic growth in 2009 has given us the opportunity to broaden our efforts to promote and develop the .PRO namespace in these visible and valuable public forums. As one of the fastest growing gTLDs in the industry, meeting sponsorship is a chance for us to connect with our core customers, accredited registrars and those in the industry who may not have discovered the opportunity present in the high-value names still available in .PRO.”
RegistryPro is also busy preparing for the release and allocation of one- two- and three-character .PRO names, scheduled to begin later this year.
“It is clear that there is significant demand for these highly recognizable and easily accessible names," said Sigmar. “As .PRO moves closer to releasing our full inventory of one-, two- and three-character names, we will continue to dedicate resources to making .PRO the number one choice for professionals on the Internet.”
