I registered a `.cd` (Democratic Congo Republic) domain in the past and it's now up for renewal in a couple of weeks. It seems, for some reasons (maybe political?) there have been changes and I'm unsure how to get some solid information.

Previously, domain name registration was delegated to a company called Conic at <http://conic.cd/>. Email was sent from admin@nic.cd. This company has now moved to <http://conic.africa>. My account still works with them and they assured me they are still responsible for the management of that domain name. I've had a good relationship with them for the last six years or so.

However, on <http://nic.cd/> which I have to consider the authoritative site, there is only a very rudimentary message regarding the fact that Conic (and others) are no longer authorized to handle `.cd` domains. As this site is more often down than up, I've taken a screenshot (see below). So, they have the official domain name, but don't appear serious.

I've contacted the email account mentioned (support@nic.cd) to get some clarification, but nobody has ever replied.

As the domain name I have is a really short one (just two characters) it's also quite expensive. I don't want to potentially lose that money.

This is why I'd like to ask what I could do to get some more authoritative information. Thanks!
