There are no special requirements to register the extension domain .AFRICA.COM. The registration process is open to anyone on a first-come first-serve basis.

The Registry Operator will be using an automated system, the Extensible Provisioning Protocol (EPP), and only accredited registrars will be able to use the system.

There are various protection mechanisms and policies, which the Registry Operator needs to adhere to, such as:

  • Rights Protection Policies
  • Dispute Resolutions
  • Sunrise Policy
  • Landrush Policies
