Who is eligible to register soko.dot?

Will my pre-order for soko.dot convert to a registration if no one claims priority?
If no validated SMD holder claims soko.dot during the priority phase, your standard pre-order at $100 is positioned to proceed toward registration under NicNames's process. Should it still fail to complete, the charge is refundable per policy. Trademark priority simply never displaces an unclaimed soko.dot. Place your pre-order at https://domain.pay/pricing.
Could a .PAY domain be suspended for not being used for payments for mobile money?
Yes. The LRP policy says .PAY LRP names must be used in connection with payment-related services, and failure to demonstrate such use may lead to suspension or cancellation. Check the current path at domain.pay: https://domain.pay/register.
