One of the new domains set up in 2002 was .pro, with three initial subdomains .med.pro, .law.pro, and .cpa.pro. They'd register applicants only after checking evidence that they're licensed in the appropriate profession. (Applicant sends state and license number, registry looks them up to be sure the name matches.) With the growing epidemic of phishing, it would be handy to know that mail from, say, deloitte.cpa.pro was really from my accountant and not from some phisher who'd registered a similar looking .com. They had a sunrise period in early 2003 so big firms could pre-squat on their famous names and trademarks, and it was supposed to go live in July. The registrar's site at registrypro.com is up, but shows no evidence of having been touched since about May, and I can't find anything else since May either. Anyeone know what happened to them? I know a couple of CPAs and lawyers who could use a hard-to-spoof domain name.
