1.0	About Second Level Domain Names
	What is a Second Level Domain Name (2LD)?
	A second level domain name (2LD) is a shorter domain name (e.g 'abc123.my') as compared to a third level domain name (3LD) (e.g. 'abc123.com.my'; 'abc123.org.my').
	2LD registrations were permitted in the early years of domain name registration. However the trend towards categorizing domain names according to activities and nature of business created demand for 3LDs like org.my; net.my; gov.my; edu.my.
	The increasing popularity and demand for the 3LDs led to the closure of 2LD registrations.
	With other nations beginning to offer 2LDs, MYNIC will now be reintroducing the .my country level 2LDs.
