[Foundation-l] .eu domains soon

Sun Nov 20 09:24:25 UTC 2005

These are the rules:

- Phase 1: If you are a holder of a registered community trademark, national
trademark, trademark licensee or a public body you should apply in this phase.

- Phase 2: If you would like to secure your company name or other rights
such as unregistered trademarks, trade names, business identifiers, protected
literary and artistic work or family names you should apply in this phase.

- General launch. (FREE)
In this phase you can apply for any name you like providing you can state
your presence within the European Community.

There will be three phases. Wikipedia should be in the first step.
