why not just register nznog.net ? there's no point to second level .nz that isn't covered better by top level domains. On Fri, Oct 11, 2013 at 05:38:31PM +1300, Juha Saarinen wrote:

The wonders of flat namespace!

Yes indeed. Now companies wanting to preserve their names are going to have to register yet-another-permutation. Sure, being able to register domain.nz /instead/ of domain.co.nz is great. But the reality is you're going to need both. If we'd started that way, then fine, but I think the benefits might be a bit over-sold. Mark.

So, hopefully there'll be some blacklists, or I'll be lining up to buy '.com'

com.co.nz is already registered, so I assume they'll have first dibs on 'com.nz'.

com.net.nz was registered earlier than com.co.nz though.

FYI it is proposed that certain names such as com.nz and gov.nz will not be released due to the potential for confusion etc. A final policy draft next year will determine which names will not be released. Hopefully not too many but com.nz is highly likely to be on there.
