Tentative Timetable for .eu
In order to proceed with .eu, we must have the Public Policy Rules for .eu which are being made by the European Commission in consultation with the Member States.
These rules will include:
who may register a name
who may become an accredited registrar
who qualifies to register in the sunrise period (prior rights such as trademarks)
which names will not be available for general registration
Alternative Dispute Resolution service for .eu.
March 2004: Preparation and translation
When we receive the rules, we will need to:
amend software and systems to accommodate the Public Policy Rules.
amend our draft contracts and procedures to reflect the rules:
terms and conditions for domain name holders
the Agreement between EURid and accredited registrars
rules and procedures for sunrise applications
publish full information our website and have it translated into other EU languages.
finalise contracts and agree systems with contractors such as
data escrow agent
ADR service providers
Prior rights validation agents
June 2004: Accrediting .eu registrars
We will begin to accredit registrars as soon as the Registrar Agreement is completed and translated into official EU languages. We will publish a list of accredited registrars on our web site to enable those wanting a .eu name to select a registrar in preparation for sunrise applications or to pre-register in preparation for general registration going live.
During this time, we will make publicity to announce to rules and procedures to ensure that the EU Internet community is aware of dates and the necessary actions to obtain a .eu name.
September 2004 to November 2004: Sunrise period (Phased registration for those holding prior rights to a name)
The sunrise period or 'phased registration process' will begin.
During this time only those with prior rights to a name (as defined in the PPR) will be able to apply for a .eu domain name. This must be done through an accredited registrar and application charges will be made on a cost recovery basis (yet to be finalised). During the sunrise period, applicants will have 4 weeks to provide proof of the prior right to the appointed validation agent. If more than one applicant with rights to a name applies during the sunrise period, applications will be dealt with on a first-come-first-served basis. Names applied for during sunrise period will be blocked from general registration whilst validation takes place to prevent others from registering the names when open registration goes live. If documentation proving a prior right is not received for names applied for during the sunrise period within the deadline specified , those names will be released and available for others to register on a first-come-first served basis when general registration begins.
November 2004: eu goes live and general registrations begin
Open registration will begin and registration will be done on a first come first served basis for any name not taken during the sunrise period and not 'blocked' from registration under the PPR.
