Panel Discussion: New SLDs versus Direct .ZA Registrations

Session description:

South Africa currently has a strict second-level domain hierarchy, with new registrations only taking place under .co.za or .org.za. Globally, many countries have moved to direct registrations. Should .company.za registrations be allowed for .za?

This 90-minute panel discussion hosted by ZADNA and ZACR will look at the pros and cons of introducing direct registrations in the .za namespace, as well as the global trends in country-code top-level domain names. Join us for what is sure to be an interesting debate.
