Really?
I own several domain names. I never registered them myself, I let my
ISP's set that up for me. I guess then by your definition, I should not
be on this professional list, despite having build, via PERL script
automation, seven to twelve megabyte sized web sites that took twelve
hours of computer time to grind out. (One of which saved a small
company from going bankrupt, not by selling anything, but by letting them
find a critical pattern in some information. We threw the site out a few
days later. It had served it's purpose.)
Nor do I know much about graphics design. If I need graphics, I
either get clip art, freebee backgrounds (which I seldom use,) or hire a
graphics artist to do.
Does that mean I am not a professional webmaster? Hardly. I make
money on the web and in software development. I've been on the web since
1995, or perhaps since 1982, when I invented a URL type system, and
developed the first thing that could be called a real browser. Oh, and I
got on computers in 1969, taught workshops on interactive computer
programming in in 1971, built my first IMSAI computer with a soldering
iron in 1976, and was selling my own word processing package in 1980.
But I do not know the details of registering a domain name. Don't
need to know that yet. Maybe next time, I'll do it. Or maybe I won't
have time to coordinate my ISP, InterNIC or whomever, and myself. (Togo
would be cute.)

This forum was created to discuss whatever web related things we want
to discuss. And maybe the occasional off-the-web thing too. I got advice
from this forum on how to start a bus. (My non-www domain name /bus/ will
get you some pictures of it, and another one.) Someone else got advice
about buying a motorcycle here. Our creator bemoaned the death of his son
here, and we all shed a tear with him. I almost died on-line, and had
some great heart warming support during my ordeal.
We are family. This is our dinner table. We discuss what feeds us as
a family, and some of the things that are the well-springs of our souls.
If we had to worry about "looking professional" all the time, many of
us would have left long ago. I know I would have.
We are wise, and ignorant; strong in some things, weak in others.
But we all come to this table as equals, to share in what is known. We
give, and take; discuss, and argue. But what we don't do, is pull rank
for the sake of feeling superior.
So maybe someone would like to educate _ME_ on how to register a
domain name... and coordinate it with my ISP, etc. I know at least one
other person who would like to avoid losing his or her shirt at the wrong
InterNIC or ISP. And maybe someone else would like to tell us why we
should, or should not, consider Togo, or some other place, to register our
name in.
