Sir

Can you tell me where I might learn of the current position with regard to the .eu domain? I am interested to know the time-frame for it coming into effect and the registration protocols that will be used.

Best wishes

Hugh

Dear Hugh:

You can download the "Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council - Internet domain name system - creating the .EU top level domain" at
http://europa.eu.int/ISPO/ecommerce/legal/domainnames.html.

There is no official time frame as yet. My personal feeling is that it will be late 2001 before we have functioning .eu URLs.

Good luck,

Dr.Ecommerce
