It used to be that case that Internic was the only place that dispensed
the .com, .org & .net domains. Now it is no longer so.

I'n not an expert in this area, however, I have expanded that section of
the VDN document to include links to: 

1) Net Wizards - http://www.netwiz.net/
2) Domain Bank - http://www.domainbank.net
3) CASDNS Inc. - http://www.casdns.net/
4) Register.com - http://www.register.com/
5) Network Solutions - http://www.networksolutions.com 
6) Domain Names International - http://www.dninet.net/

As well as:

7) Internet Council of Registers (CORE) - http://www.corenic.net/

Which seems to be a central registry of such and provides links to other
registrars in Germany, Japan, Monaco and Spain; the list seeming grows
daily. 

www.crsnic.net simply leads to a portion of the Network Solutions site.

I'm not going to pursue every single registry in this continuously
expanding list. If you feel some other site is meritorious, please add a
link.

Cheers,

Chris
