Joly If they're to become a registrar then not only would they be subject to the RAA but they'd also have to meet the accreditation criteria, which *might* be an issue for a city, as it can only apply to a corporate body. I *think* that some .brand applicants are going to outsource the registrar function, but that's going only on what I'm hearing on the grapevine. I'd assume that any brand that's interested in getting its own TLD already has a relationship with a registrar..

Presumably indeed they would be subject to to the RAA. How are the dotbrands dealing with this? j On Mon, Mar 26, 2012 at 2:57 PM, Michele Neylon :: Blacknight <michele@blacknight.ie<mailto:michele@blacknight.ie>> wrote: On 26 Mar 2012, at 19:47, Avri Doria wrote:

NYC is gong to become a RAA registrar?
