  2. Registry Gateway System Operator • APTLD • Participants • (a) Interested APTLD members who are ccTLDs • (b) Interested registrars who are accredited by the relevant ccTLDs • Mode of Operation • Participating ccTLDs connect their registry systems to APTLD gateway. They accredit foreign-based participating registrars and allow them to sell their cc names to foreign-based registrants by registering these names through the APTLD registry gateway.

  3. Outcomes • ccTLDs can broaden its base of registrars to help promote the growth of their names; • Registrars can offer more products and services and can work with a single registry gateway to register participating ccTLD names without having to deal with multiple ccTLDs (e.g. placing deposits); • Registrants can have better knowledge of ccTLD and TLD choice with closer support from their local registrars (e.g. convenience of language); • APTLD can improve its role and relationship with members by adding value in facilitating registration of names by registrars.
