The original email Subject was: Domainincite Brazil loses its only (ICANN Accredited) Registrars Actually, they stopped to be a Registrar since they got. UOL as their new gTLD in 2013. Daniel Fink and myself have been talking around the country to encourage ISPs and others to become a Registrar, but even if we got reduced exigencies from ICANN we had no success!! Less and less registrars in the region… the add value is small and they can sell names just becoming a reseller… Vanda Scartezini Polo Consultores Associados Av.

Wasn’t more ICANN accredited registrars seen as crucial for growing the DNS industry especially when it comes to future gTLDs applications coming from the LAC region ? Dev Anand
