This is a no-brainer. Unless your organization substantially supports the network infrastructure in some way you didn't mention, you'll be denied a place in the .net domain. I'm curious why you're trying for a .net domain instead of an .org when the latter seems obviously more appropriate. > Here is my question. What happens if Internic denies us our .net domain?

I doubt it, and my gut reaction is "thank goodness" -- NSI has more important things to do than play Domain Ego Tag. -- ::: Lazlo (•••@••.•••; http://www.swcp.com/lazlo) ~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~-~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~ Posted by Andrew Oram - •••@••.••• - Moderator: CYBER-RIGHTS (CPSR) You are encouraged to forward and cross-post messages for non-commercial use, pursuant to any redistribution restrictions included in individual messages. ~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~-~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=~
