When and if the corporate name of Registry Operator is changed, Appendix X will be amended to incorporate second level domain variations on the new name.

Part C: Patterns of names staying with Registry in the event of reassignment:

Whenever any name is registered as a third-level domain (e.g., john.smith.name), the following domains will be delegated directly to Registry Operator:

1. <second-level domain>.name - the corresponding second-level domain (e.g., smith.name)
2. directory.<second-level name>.name
3. www.<second-level name>.name

See Appendix C for details.
