PRESSEMITTEILUNGEN

(pressebox) Koeln, 19.09.2009,

EURID-Registrar Secura has announced today, that the company will accept the pre-registration of IDNs at .eu since today.

EURID will introduce IDNs at December 10.

Internationalised Domain Names (IDNs) are domain names that may contain non-ASCII characters. An example for an special character is e.g. è. These special characters include letters with accents and characters in non-Latin languages such as Greek, for example.

The public policy rules for eu-domains states, "The Registry shall perform the registration of domain names in all the alphabetic characters of the official languages when adequate international standards become available."

The implementation of IDNs at eu-domains will support all characters of all the 23 official EU languages.

A sunrise period is not forseen. Secura has still a small queue of applications and
can offer therefore good chances to new applicants.
