.mobi Trademark Sunrise reminder
A reminder that the .mobi Trademark Sunrise period has started
and will run until 21 August. Thousands of .mobi domains have
already been registered. Protect your brands in the new suffix for the Mobile Internet now,
at www.gltd.com.
Liberalisation of .fr domain
From 20 June 2006 the .fr registry will be allowing all
individuals 18 or over, with a postal address in France, to register
any available domains they want ending in .fr. Until now, only
professionals, associations or public bodies have been able to
register .fr.
The domain will not need to correspond in any way to the name of
the proposed legal registrant. The administrative contact must be
based in France, having an address where they can receive legal and
other documents. NetNames can fulfil the role of administrative
contact if required.
NetNames now expects a great deal of cybersquatting within the .fr
domain, and recommends that trademark owners who have not yet
secured their brands in .fr do so now.
In order to register .fr, visit www.netnames.com
now.
Activation of .vn at second level
Below is the updated schedule of the long-awaited launch of .vn -
the dates refer to when successfully registered second-level domains
from each different category go live:
1 June (2006) - Applications from Vietnamese trademark
holders (are therefore active now)
15 June - Applications from non-Vietnamese trademark
holders
1 July - Applications from those who
pre-registered
4 July - Open to public - first-come, first-served
