Sunrise period for .eu domain names begins Dec. 7
October 2005
The registry for the .eu Internet top-level domain will accept
reservations for second-level domain names from Dec. 7. The domain is
intended to identify activities or information related to the European
Union, and give companies based there the opportunity to use a
pan-European Internet identity to complement their individual national
sites.
During the four-month sunrise period, Eurid vzw will accept name
reservations on a first-come, first-served basis from companies and
organizations based in the E.U., and from persons living there.
In the first phase, lasting two months, only the names of public
bodies and the territories they govern, or registered trademarks, may
be reserved. From Feb. 7, other names can be reserved, including
company names and business identifiers, unregistered trademarks, and
distinctive titles of protected literary and artistic work.
