The .nz cc-tld is broken up into several 2ld's .co, .net, .org, .gov, ,.gen, .maori, .school, .iwi, .geek, etc. You can't buy a 2ld, you must buy 3ld's. Thus I own "meta.net.nz", and someone else owns "fish.net.nz" etc. This isn't unheard of in the cc-tld space, it's also used in the uk and australia for instance. Keeping track of which cc-tld's sell 2ld, and which only sell 3ld's is fairly tricky.
