Bob then made reference to the Domain Market 1 which has lower costs of registering a domain name. Registration can be done from anywhere in the world as there is no requirement that the person be a member of any county. This level of registration is usually automatic. The domain name market 2 is more in line with business model and it calls for appropriate regulatory and governance mechanisms. Bob also reminded participants that a domain name has no value and that is why there is need for enhancements such as adding a web page and localised e-mail service.
