Cologne,10 July 2004. ICANN accredited registar Secura announces today, that the company is accepting applications for the sunrise and real time period of eu-domains (<a href="https://www.domainregistry.de/eu.html" target="_new">https://www.domainregistry.de/eu.html</a>).</p><p>Sunrise Period</p><p>You should send now to your applications to secure your rights at the new eu-domains. The eu-domains will be the most important event since the introduction of com-domains.</p><p>There will be a Sunrise Period (Phased registration for those holding prior rights to a name) at the eu-domains.</p><p>The Sunrise Period of eu-domains will have two phases:</p><p>The EU Regulation stipulates that the registry must make a sunrise provision at eu-domains to allow those with 'prior rights' to a name to apply for registration of eu-domains in advance of beginning general registrations. The PPR states that the sunrise period (phased registration) of eu-domains will take place in two phases each lasting two months.</p><p>During phase one, public bodies and holders of registered Community or national trademarks will be able to register their names.</p><p>During phase 2 those who may register in phase 1 may register their eu-domains as well holders of other rights recognised under Community law or the national law of an EU member state. Eu-domains registered during the sunrise period must be an exact match for the prior right claimed and documentary evidence must be supplied to proof the right.</p><p>Live Registration: First comes-first serves</p><p>Some weeks after the Sunrise Period eu-domains goes live and general registrations of eu-domains will begin and registration of eu-domains will be done on a first come first served basis for any eu-domain not taken during the sunrise period.</p><p>About The Author</p><p>Hans-Peter Oswald <br> CEO<br> ICANN accredited registrar Secura GmbH</p><p>You can reprint or republish these articles for free if these three lines are at the end of the articles:</p><p><a href="http://www.com-domains.com" target="_new">http://www.com-domains.com</a></p><p><a href="https://www.domainregistry.de" target="_new">https://www.domainregistry.de</a></p><p><a href="mailto:secura@domainregistry.de">secura@domainregistry.de</a>
