Quoting Shantanu Bhadoria shant...@cpan.org:


I hope they open it for non-european pm groups as well!!


[It's unclear what you're talking about as you haven't left any  
context. But let's assume it was AFNIC and the .pm domain extension.]


I'm afraid that AFNIC's policies don't change very often.  
Registrations in this ccTLD have been completely closed for a long  
time. The fact that they are now open at all is an impressive change  
of policy. I really can't see them making another big change very  
quickly.

PS Yes, I had to do some research to find out that it was br, and check
   that the language is first, the country second.
