    fTLD Registrar - Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) How do I become an fTLD registrar? See the information at BECOME AN fTLD REGISTRAR for details on the process. fTLD Registry System Who operates the fTLD Registry System? Verisign is the Registry Service Provider and Symantec is the Verification Agent. Is there a web interface available for registrars to process registrations for fTLD?

For guidance on selecting domains, please see the fTLD Name Selection Policies and their Implementation Guidelines here.

Please consult section 3.1 of the .INSURANCE Name Selection Policy for specific information.
