[[Registry.pro]] is the registry for .pro names. The word "professional" starts with "pro" in many languages and hence the TLD makes good sense for professionals and professional firms.
Registry.pro also checks a customer's professional and business qualifications before assigning a .pro domain. And this gives the .pro domains they administer greater weight and standing. <ref>[http://registry.pro/press-releases/2010/0616.shtml Registry.Pro – Press Release]</ref>
