sul TLD.e
Mr. Mike Roberts CEO and President ICANN 4676
Admiralty Way, Suite330 Marina del Rey, CA
90292 Dear Mr. Roberts, I would like to
thank you for your recent visit to Brussels and
for the exchange of information that took place
with the Commission services on that occasion.
During your visit you were again informed about
the strong interest in Europe for the creation
of the new Internet Top Level Domain, .EU The
European Commission has thoroughly studied this
initiative with the European institutions, ISPs,
industry and the local Internet community in
Europe. Earlier this year we conducted a broad
and open public consultation on the proposal,
based on a consultation document that has been
posted on the web. That consultation confirmed
widespread support from major Internet interests
in this proposal. Moreover, the setting up of
the .EU Domain is now part of the eEurope Action
Plan, endorsed at the recent Feira European
Council and thus endorsed at the level of the
Heads of State/Government of the 15 EU Member
States. omissis

August 10, 2000 Mr. Erkki Liikanen Member of
the Commission European Commission Rue de la
Roi 200 B-1049 Brussels, Belgium Dear
Commissioner Liikanen - Thank you for your
formal request of July 6 concerning the creation
of an Internet top level domain for the European
Union. At our recent meeting in Yokohama, a
number of the ICANN Directors had an opportunity
to discuss your letter and to begin to address
the policy issues related to consideration of a
.eu TLD registry. For many reasons, past and
present, the delegation of top level domains
having a geographic component to their
definition is a sensitive matter. The Board
strongly agrees with the views of Jon Postel,
the creator of IANA, that it is not the IANA's
role to determine what is a country. At the same
time, the Board understands and supports the need
for flexibility in adapting the Domain Name
System to the needs of the Internet
community. Since the .eu code does not currently
appear in the ISO 3166-1 table which is
referenced in the ICANN ICP-1 policy document on
country code delegations, the creation of .eu
would appear likely to require a policy
action Omissis

INTERNET CORPORATION FOR ASSIGNED NAMES AND
NUMBERS MINUTES OF SPECIAL MEETING 25 September
2000 DELEGATION OF ccTLDs Mr. Roberts raised
the need for interpretation of existing policies
regarding the delegation of "country code"
top-level domains (ccTLDs). There are two areas
in which the Board should consider clarifying
the manner in which ccTLD policies are to be
implemented 1. ICP-1, which summarizes the
current ccTLD policies, states that new ccTLD
"codes are assigned from a table known as
ISO-3166-1." On 6 July 2000, Erkki Liikanen, the
European Commissioner for Enterprise
Information Society, wrote to Mr. Roberts
regarding the possible establishment of an .eu
TLD. Although the alpha-2 code "eu" is not
directly included on the ISO 3166-1 list, the
ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency, as pointed out in
Mr. Liikanan's letter, "has decided to extend the
scope of the reservation of the code element EU
to cover any application of ISO 3166-1 that
needs a coded representation of the name
European Union, including its being used as an
Internet Top Level Domain." This gives it a
status that seems practically equivalent to
direct listing. The IANA staff seeks the Board's
guidance as to whether codes not directly listed
but having been granted an "any application"
reservation on the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency's
exceptional reservation list should be treated
as subject to delegation under ICP-1.

ccTLD.eu
Resolution While the "eu" code does not appear
on that list, the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency has
designated the "eu" code as approved for "all
uses." Confronted with this situation, the IANA
staff asked the Board for guidance. The Board's
answer was that the code should be regarded as
available for delegation under existing policy,
and furthermore that no new TLDs should be
established without a completed registry
agreement between ICANN and the registry operator.

La Commissione Europea designa EURid per la
gestione del ccTLD.eu
22 May 2003 Brussels - Pisa - Stockholm, May 22nd
2003. Today, the Commission announced that it
has chosen the EURid consortium to run the .eu
TLD. EURid is a not for profit organisation that
is built around the Belgian, Italian and Swedish
registries. This decision is the latest step in
the process of creating a new European Top Level
Domain extension. EURid responded to the Call for
Expression of Interest that was launched by the
European Commission in August last year. A panel
of independent experts then evaluated the bids
and indicated EURid as the best choice to run
the .eu registry. The three registries have very
complementary competences The Belgian registry
(DNS BE) has gone through a successful
liberalisation at the end of 2000, an experience
that is similar to the creation of a new
registry. DNS BE will make available its
automated registry system that is considered as
one of the most advanced in the market. The
Italian registry (IIT-CNR), as a division of a
well-known research institute, has developed
tools for securing electronic transactions. Their
security systems and the related know how, in
combination with their experience of running a
large registry will be a key factor in the
success of the .eu registry. The Swedish
registry (NIC-SE) has been involved in the
creation of Internet standards and has a long
standing tradition of interactive consultation
with the local and international Internet
Community. This experience will be crucial in
the start up phase of .eu. Recently, .se has made
the step to an open and unrestricted
registry. Omissis

Colasanti, the Director General of the European
Commission's Information Society DG, joined with
EURid board members Pierre Verbaeten (Chairman)
Franco Denoth and Anders Janson to sign the
Service Concession Contract to operate the .eu
registry. With the contract now concluded, the
Commission will formally notify ICANN of the
selected registry operator allowing official
negotiations to commence between EURid and ICANN
to have .eu put in the root. Though
preparations for the launch of .eu can now
proceed with a little more certainty, EURid will
be looking for a speedy conclusion to
negotiations with ICANN in order to minimise
delays in launching .eu. Omissis

Comunicato di Registry Services We have received
many enquiries about EU Registry Services and web
sites registereu.com and europeanregistry.biz.
EURid has no link with .eu Registry Services
(registereu.com or europeanregistry.biz) and
urges caution when receiving unsolicited (spam)
emails offering .eu registrations or taking
money for pre-registrations. At this time there
are no accredited .eu registrars and it is not
possible to register or reserve a .eu name with
us. "Pre-registrations" are offered by some
companies but sit only in their databases and
have no official status with the .eu registry.

Omissis Your letter is most helpful in outlining
the history of the .eu recognition by the
European Commission. Omissis I understand from
my staff that we are in fact very close to
concluding an agreement between ICANN and EURid,
and that they have sent a suggested time frame
for completion. Additionally, and in parallel,
the IANA function will begin preparing the report
that explains the process by which the .eu ccTLD
is delegated, to put before the Board for
approval and entering it into the rot DNS zone. I
have asked my staff to complete the process on
our side as expediently as possible. Omissis

21-Jan-05 Comunicato di EURid contro spam
We have received a number of complaints from
people who have received unsolicited (spam)
emails in which the sender claims to have
pre-registered their .eu domain name on their
behalf. Please note that there are no
accredited .eu registrars at this time and it is
not possible to pre-register a .eu name with us.
Such pre-registrations sit only in the database
of the provider offering the service and have no
official status with the .eu registry. Over the
coming months, we will accredit a network of .eu
registrars across Europe and publish a list on
our web site. You will need to contact one of
those registrars in order to obtain your .eu name.

Special Meeting of the Board Minutes 21 March
2005 Delegation of .EU Omissis Whereas, at its
meeting on 25 September 2000, the ICANN Board
resolved (00.74) that alpha-2 codes not on the
ISO 3166-1 list are delegable as ccTLDs only in
cases where the ISO 3166 Maintenance Agency, on
its exceptional reservation list, has issued a
reservation of the code that covers any
application of ISO 316-1 that needs a coded
representation in the name of the country,
territory, or area involved Whereas, the code
"EU" has been reserved by the ISO 3166-1
Maintenance Agency to cover any application of
ISO 3166-1 that needs a coded representation for
the name European Union, including the use as a
TLD. Whereas, the European Commission has,
following extensive consultations, issued a
regulation laying down the public policy rules
concerning the implementation and functions of
the .EU TLD (including principles governing
registration), and has designated EURid the
European Registry for Internet Domains as the
appropriate registry for the .EU TLD. Whereas,
in a communication from EURid to the ICANNs
President and CEO, EURid indicated a willingness
to enter into a framework of accountability with
ICANN and formally requested the delegation of
the .EU ccTLD. Resolved 05.__ the President
and the General Counsel are authorized to enter
into an agreement with EURid and to complete the
delegation of .EU to EURid. This resolution was
approved by the Board by a vote of 15-0, with no
abstentions.

Il BoD di ICANN approva laccordo del 21-Mar-05
per linserimento del .eu nella radice
EU Update 23 March 2005 Earlier this week,
ICANN's Board took steps to authorize the
delegation of .EU as a ccTLD (country code Top
Level Domain), and for ICANN Staff to enter into
an agreement with EURid and to complete the
delegation of .EU. The technical teams of ICANN's
IANA function and EURid are working together to
complete the entry of .EU in the DNS root. The
two-letter code for the European Union (.EU)
appears on the ISO 3166-1 reserved list of alpha
two-letter codes of country names. At the request
of the European Commission, the ISO Maintenance
Agency extended the scope of this reservation to
cover any application of the two-letter code
representing the name European Union, including
its being used as a TLD. Following this step, the
European Union commenced a process, in
partnership with ICANN, to designate the .EU
ccTLD. Delegation of a new top level domain
requires the completion of a number of
procedures. The key requirement is that for each
domain there is a designated delegee for
supervising that domain's name space. In the case
of .EU, the European Commission identified EURid
as the appropriate organization to manage .EU.
