Highly Regulated TLDs

Additionally, if a registrant collects and maintains sensitive health and financial data, they must implement reasonable and appropriate security measures commensurate with the offering of those services, as defined by applicable law.

Safeguards for Highly Regulated TLDs:

Registrants must provide registrar administrative contact information, which must be kept up-to-date for the notification of complaints or reports of registration abuse, as well as the contact details of the relevant regulatory, or industry self-regulatory, bodies in their main place of business. Additionally, registrants must possess any necessary authorizations, charters, licenses, and/or other related credentials for participation in the sector associated with this Highly Regulated TLD and report any material changes to the registrant’s authorizations, charters, licenses, and/or other related credentials for participation in the sector associated with the Highly Regulated TLD.

 .VLAANDEREN and .BRUSSELS

 Registry operator DNS.be vzw has announced the launch schedule for its new GeoTLDs, .VLAANDEREN and .BRUSSELS, as follows:

Sunrise Phase	Sunrise Type	Govt, Org, Corp Phase	Private Indiv. Phase	Landrush Phase	General Availability
01-Sep-14 01-Oct-14	first-come, first- served)	02-Oct-14 03-Nov-14	13-Nov-14 15-Dec-14	16-Dec-14 15-Jan-15	20-Jan-15

 

During the Sunrise Phase, trademark rights holders may register their domain names on a first-come, first-served basis provided that the term applied for is in the TMCH and meets the following criteria:

the trademark is a Benelux trademark (code BX) and is registered with the Benelux Bureau for Intellectual Property (BBIE);

• the trademark is a European trademark registration (code EM) and has been registered via OHIM; or
• the trademark is an International trademark registration (code WO) that is valid in Belgium and registered via WIPO.

Governments, Organizations, and Companies Phase

A Governments, Organizations and Companies Phase will follow Sunrise, wherein government institutions, companies, and organizations established in Belgium may submit an application for ‘organizationname.vlaanderen’ or ‘organizationname.brussels,’ namely:

1. Government institutions established in Belgium

• institutions and bodies belonging to national, regional, provincial, and local government bodies
• public authorities, organizations or bodies
• European, international, and intergovernmental organizations.

2. Companies or businesses with their (head) office in Belgium

These are companies and businesses that have a head office or ordinary domicile in Belgium (no postbox addresses). Companies can be a public limited company, or a one-man band, and self-employed businesses also fall within this category.

3. Organizations established in Belgium

These are organizations that are domiciled in Belgium (no postbox addresses) and in the first instance, non-profit associations, foundations, and international non-profit associations, with one requirement being that the organization must be a legal entity.

During this phase, you can apply for the following domains:

• your official name or designation, the acronym of that name, your trademark or brand name, the name of a geographical area, and name of origin or provenance if you are a government institution;
• your brand name, trading name, company name, and name of origin or provenance if you are a company; or
• your brand name, trading name, company name, and name of origin or provenance if you are an organization.

For Stage One (the application), there are no formalities to carry out, however, under Stage Two (the validation investigation), it will be necessary to fulfill a number of formalities: you will receive the contact details of the validator, together with instructions on how to upload your supporting documents (documents, references to online registers or databases, files, etc., that demonstrate your entitlement to the domain name you are requesting).

Multiple applications for the same domain will result in an auction.

Private individuals Phase

During this phase, all holders of a valid Belgian eID card having Belgian nationality, regardless of their place of residence or the age of the holder, may apply for domains corresponding with:

• their family name
• their family name and first name
• their first name and family name
• their family name and the first letter of their first name
• the first letter of their first name and family name

It will be necessary to validate your personal details via the DNS Belgium ‘eID wizard’ at its website (where the data on your eID card is scanned using a card reader) and what is on your eID card defines the list of domains from which you can choose. After selecting the name(s) you want, you will receive confirmation of your reservation and a registration code for each domain reserved, which is required by your registrar in order to register the domains. (Such registration codes are only valid for seven days, otherwise the reserved domains will be released again.)

Landrush Phase

Under the Landrush Phase, anyone can apply for domains without restrictions, either in terms of applicant, location, or place of residence, with multiple applications for the same domain resulting in an auction.

General Availability

Domains will be available to all without restriction under General Availability on a first-come, first-served basis. IDNs will be available in the Latin characters which are used in the three communities of Belgium (Dutch, French, and German-speaking communities) – see http://www.dnsbelgium.be/en/domain-name/valid-domain-name.

New gTLDs Currently Running

Registry operator Dot Scot Registry Limited’s new GeoTLD, .SCOT, has been featured in the news this week, with articles at domainnews.com and bbc.co.uk. A Pioneer Program for the TLD, which entered into Sunrise on 15 July, has also gone live for the purpose of promoting the .SCOT TLD, wherein it will allow registration of a maximum of 90 domains to be selected by the registry from among eligible expressions of interests received, based on a criteria of visibility, notoriety, and commitment to the promotion of the .SCOT TLD.

Among those who have signed up so far are the Scottish government, the main “yes” and “no” campaign groups for the upcoming referendum on Scottish independence, “Yes Scotland” and “Better Together,” as well as WWF Scotland, NHS Scotland, and Scouts Scotland. International pioneers include the Louisiana Scots and the Clan Wallace. This comes ahead of the referendum and of course the Commonwealth Games being held in Glasgow from 23 July.

The Pioneer Program is set to run until 15 September 2014, with domains available to all from 23 September 2014.

Meanwhile, the registry has announced that if you know someone who had a baby in Scotland on 15 July, they will secure their .SCOT domain for them for free (they will ask for some proof!).
