J+7 - The Domainer Meeting that was held at the heart of Paris on the 19th and 20th June, was a great success and achieved all expectations with more than 300 attendees and some high profile speakers and sponsors from the Domain Industry. This could not have happened without the presence, support and commitment of all sponsors, partners, speakers and attendees.  

Xavier Buck, CEO and Founder of EuroDNS, says “I would like to first thank all our great speakers, partners and sponsors on this event for their commitment and trust. This show wouldn’t have been such a success without them, and it really demonstrates how large and tied together the Domain community is. It also shows that the European market is growing fast. I would also like to thank all the people who travelled to Paris to attend the meeting. We gathered more than 300 people, who highly contributed to the global atmosphere and set up of the meeting”.

 

This truly European event tackled major concerns and managed to bring the Domain Name worlds together. It also helped the Primary market understand the Aftermarket better and gave everyone the opportunity to debate major issues and hear all the conflicting opinions.

 

The SnapNames Live Auction event that took place on the Friday afternoon garnered $361,000 in sales. Aftermarket.com sold for $125,000, while rainbows.com and domain.pl each auctioned at $45,000. PhoneAccessories.com was sold for $25,000.

The event was all about learning, networking and fun and gave people the opportunity to communicate about current issues in the Domain Industry and to raise common understanding.

Xavier concludes, “As the outcome of this meeting was so positive, we are planning to organize another one in 2009, close in time to the ICANN meeting and maybe in Prague. Keep logged into the Domainer Meeting site, more news will come up soon”.

Important information - a number of users have received letters from another entity, the so-called "Registro italiano in Internet per le imprese", which, through surface-mail mailings, (seemingly to ask the verifications of the data dealing with user activities) proposes a contract to adhere to in order to receive a service after payment.

The Institute of Informatics and Telematics of the CNR and the ccTLD .it Registry are not in the least involved with this initiative and have prepared again the necessary actions to protect any rights that might have been infringed.

The Italian Competition Authorities (http://www.agcm.it) has repeatedly issued fines - for analogous initiatives as case in point of misleading messages - against DAD Deutscher Adressdienst.

Luxembourg, 5th May - The General Sunrise and Landrush Periods for .ME domainsstart today on EuroDNS website and will last 30 days, during which domain .ME registry will begin accepting the .ME applications of trademark owners and the public at large.

EuroDNS is an accredited .ME registrar and its website is now ready to receive all applications. Xavier Buck, CEO of EuroDNS explains “.ME is the new extension for Montenegro and is expected to be utilized as both a personalized Web address and as a catchy business marketing tool around the world. The Sunrise period is restricted to trademark holders only and Landrush is unrestricted. We have been accredited by the .ME registry and our platform is now open for both types of application”.

During Sunrise and Landrush, multiple parties will be allowed to submit applications for the same domain name. The domain names that receive more than one application will go to an auction process. The Sunrise auctions will be held from 20th May to 6th June, and the Landrsuh auctions form 26th June to 15th July. In September, the Premium Names will go into auction. The .ME Open Registration process (Go Live!) is based on a first-come, first-served basis. EuroDNS will receive all applications on the 26th of June and then send them directly to the registry. On the 17th July, the .ME registry will then award the .ME domain name to the first person who submits the domain. EuroDNS .ME sales prices for the different periods are: Sunrise: 175 Euros/year (minimum 5 years)
Landrush: 48 Euros/year (minimum 2 years)
GoLive: 24 Euros/year (minimum 2 years)

Any changes, updates or transfers to a .ME domain will not be possible until the 7th of July.
