.FR: multi-year reservation and renewal
As announced in our previous IP Alert dedicated to domain names, as from 30 March 2015, it is now 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 is now calculated on its anniversary date and no longer at the end of the month.
Our future filing and renewal reports relating to this top-level domain will naturally reflect this amendment.
Discontinuation of Chinese keywords
As the register of Chinese keywords in Latin and Chinese characters (K-NET) has just announced the discontinuation of such keywords, it is no longer possible to register, renew, transfer or amend a Chinese keyword. Keywords already registered will remain in effect until their expiry date, as of which they will be deleted.
This deletion is in follow-up to the launch of the top-level domain .网址 (xn--ses554g), managed by the same register. Previously registered keywords have been automatically converted by K-NET into domain names under the top-level domain .网址 (Chinese translation of .WEBSITE).
LAVOIX will be contacting each owner individually to inform them of changes in this respect.
Registration conditions for .BANK
The eligibility criteria for this top-level domain are particularly strict. They are defined as follows:
1- Credit institutions of which the activities are regulated by a governmental regulatory authority
2- Associations and groups of associations of which the members are credit institutions
3- Service providers recognised by a governmental regulatory authority or by an association or a group of associations of which the members are credit institutions
4- Authorities regulating the entities mentioned above
Applicants satisfying these criteria may apply for the registration of .BANK domain names in accordance with the following timetable:
