.gn Domain (.com.gn, .org.gn)
.gn is the ccTLD of Guinea, registered with IANA on August 9, 1994. Curiously, the sponsoring organization is a fisheries research center, the Centre National des Sciences Halieutiques de Boussoura, while technical operation falls to ANDE. There is no direct registration: it happens at the third level, requiring physical presence in the country.

About the .GN domain
What is the .GN domain?
It is not possible to register a name directly under .gn: registration happens at the third level, mainly under .com.gn and .org.gn. The applicant organization and its administrative contact must have genuine physical and administrative presence within Guinea, and must demonstrate genuine intent to actively use the domain name on the internet — speculative reservation alone is not enough. Regulations also require two nameservers located on different networks, and the applicant must certify that the chosen name does not infringe trademarks or other protected names. If the organization no longer meets the in-country presence requirement, the domain may be suspended or revoked.
