the 1st sunrise period for .eu domain registration is going to begin soon - 7 December 2005 only domain names which are registred EU community/national trademarks will be registered.

Because of trademark issues and eu regulations concernig who can apply for .eu, I'm affraid it will be a bit complicated. I hope someone from the foundation can take care of it.

Our domain applications for wikipedia.eu and wikimedia.eu have been in progress for a month but I am not aware of the trademark application status. Apparently anybody can still submit applications for those exact same domains? Not

I think our legal dept needs to look at this ASAP. I?ve CCd their list.

Hi, the 1st sunrise period for .eu domain registration is going to begin soon - 7 December 2005 only domain names which are registred EU community/national trademarks will be registered. I'm not sure about the status of Wikimedia trademarks, but guess at least Wikipedia a Wikimedia are suitable. IMO "we" should apply at least for wikipedia.eu and wikimedia.eu. Because of trademark issues and eu regulations concernig who can apply for .eu, I'm affraid it will be a bit complicated. I hope someone from the foundation can take care of it.

Hi, after less than a year .eu registration finally have results wikipedia.eu was finaly lost to subject actively hostile to Wikimedia, see www.wikipedia.eu. (It's not because they were that clever or agressive, but because Wikimedia wasnt much active)
