Re: [Handle-info] sub prefix

[Jane Euler <jeuler@cnri.reston.va.us>]

Hi Sharif:
Permission for creating subprefixes, also known as a derived prefixes, is 
at the prefix level. And if you recall all prefixes/derived prefixes reside 
in the Global Registry. So CNRI creates all derived prefixes and if you 
note the Service Agreement they are each $50.

I have noticed some folks use derived prefixes or go ahead and get a new 
top level prefix. This is usually done if the new project/division, etc has 
nothing to do with the previous one. But all prefixes stand alone so really 
derived prefixes are fine in any case however, it may be helpful from a 
organization's point of view to use a new/different one.

Thanks
Jane
