A domain name is your unique internet address. Most internet sites register with
the InterNIC which issues domains under the .com (commercial), .org
(non profit), .net (network infrastructure), .gov (US federal government),
.tv (television), and .info (information) are top level domains. There
are also top level domains for every country, such as .ca (Canada), .us
(United States), and .uk (United Kingdom).
Domain names tend to be memorable so that people can find and return to your site.
For example, if your organization was Widgets, Inc you would probably choose widgets.com.

CNG Internet can / will register your domain for you. (You may register the domain

the domain. You need to have ownership information at hand as you register a domain.

First, try to contact the person who registered your domain and have that person

Internic (and all other domain registrars) are taking a hands-off approach. It is
up to the courts to decide what infringes on a trademark. Courts have even sided
with holders of trademarks when the "domain" just sounds like the defending
trademark. Just do your research, and stay clear of "similar" names, even
if you are in an entirely different "industry". You do not want to lose
your domain after you have promoted it. (Aside from court-costs that you will pay
if you can't defend the domain name).
