EURid releases 9000 .EU domain names for registration after winning lawsuit
9,000 seized .EU domain names will be made available by EURid on a first-come, first-served basis order over a 48 hour period on 24 and 25 October, 2011.
EURid (the European Registry of Internet Domain Names) will now permit .EU domain names to be registered by anyone eligible whose request is received through a .EU accredited registrar and in keeping with the regulations. Any individual, organization and business residing within the European Union are eligible to register .EU domain names.
In 2006, EURid, ascertained that almost 9000 .EU domain names had been registered by a registrant in violation of .EU registration regulations. Following this EURid filed a lawsuit against this registrant and finally the Court of Appeal in Brussels decided in EURid’s favour.
As per the decision issued on 21 September 2010, the Court of Appeal found that these .eu domain names were registered in bad faith and therefore the registrations were to be terminated. Allowing time for subsequent appeals and legal notifications, EURid is now authorized to implement the final court order and revoke the .EU domain names concerned.
As a result 9000 .EU domain names are now available for registration. To deal with the large number of extensions, all domain names will be released every hour, in chronological order starting at 9 a.m on October 24, 2011.
Subsequent to the opening of the .EU most of these names were promptly registered including many brand names. So this could be your opportunity to own interesting domain names such as;
www.nokia-accessories.eu
www.sales-lentz.eu
www.telecom-paris.eu
