apply in Phase 1
A reminder that the first phase of the restricted Sunrise period
for the forthcoming .eu domain will start on 7th December. Phase 1
is for holders of registered national or community trademarks,
public bodies and holders of geographical indicators or designations
of origin. If you are applying as a licensee of a trademark, please
be aware that your application MUST be submitted to the Registry in
PHASE 1. Licensees of trademarks will NOT be accepted in Phase 2.
Phase 2 (during which applications will also be accepted by
holders of other rights protected by national law, e.g. company
names, unregistered trademarks and some family names) will start 7th
February.
Open registration is not expected to go live until 7th April
2006. If you believe you may qualify to make a Sunrise application,

2nd-level launch of .pk (Pakistan)
The full launch of .pk at the second level (first-come,
first-served) has moved to 31st December. There will however be an
opportunity to introduce applications into queues, which will
subsequently be randomised, from 15th December. It is therefore
advisable to make your application as soon as possible, at www.netnames.com.
.fr (France) and .re (Reunion) domains opened to
individuals before summer 2006
Currently individuals (as opposed to organisations) can only
register 3rd-level .fr and .re domains, according to a particular,
restrictive format (e.g. familyname.nom.fr). It is expected that
residents of France or Reunion will be permitted to register
available 2nd-level domains of their choice before summer 2006.
More details will be made available in due course.
