.FR: multi-year reservation and renewal
As from 30 March 2015, it will be possible to register or renew a .FR domain name for several years in advance (up to ten years). Please note: the deadline for a .FR domain name will be calculated on its anniversary date and no longer at the end of the month as is currently the case.

One and two character .FR domain names
Since 9 December 2014, it has been possible to register a .FR domain name made up of only one or two numerical and/or alphabetical characters with the AFNIC.
This possibility is being introduced in strict accordance with the following timetable:
|
"Sunrise" phase |
09 December 2014 to 09 February 2015 |
Period during which applications for the registration of one or two character domain names made by holders of prior rights have priority status. |
|
"Landrush" phase |
16 February 2015 to 17 March 2015 |
Period during which any interested party may apply to register a one or two character domain name (provided that it has not been registered during the Sunrise phase). |
|
General availability |
17 March 2015 |
Open period for the registration of one or two character domain names which have not been registered during the Sunrise or Landrush phases. |
Each of these phases shall operate on a “first come, first served” basis.
All applicants must comply with the .FR Naming Charter (as recently updated) and with all applicable registry policies in force at the time of the launch.
The other top level domains relating to French territory and currently managed by the AFNIC (.RE ; .PM ; .TF ; .YT ; .WF) are not concerned by this launch for the time being.

New Naming Charter
The AFNIC has also updated the Naming Charter for the top level domains under its management: the new document is accessible on the AFNIC’s website:
https://www.afnic.fr/medias/documents/Cadre_legal/afnic-charte-de-nommage-2014-12-08.pdf
The LAVOIX team would be happy to help you with the process of reserving and maintaining your domain name under these top-level domains.

The initial registration phases (Sunrise and Landrush, limited to local businesses, associations, public organisations, trade marks registered with the TMCH and other holders of prior rights) commenced on Monday 19 January 2015 and shall end on 20/03/2015.
The general availability phase is scheduled to begin on 7 April 2015.
