EURid Opens Code of Conduct to Public

Of late, EURid, the registry for the Internet top level domain .eu, invites public to email their comments on the Code to conduct@eurid.eu until the 16th of March 2007, when the document will be finalized and the Council of Conduct will be elected. The draft version, .eu Code of Conduct, was launched amongst its accredited registrars for assessment in December 2006 and will be governed by an elected Council of Conduct. The Code will come into effect on March 29th, and registrars subscribing to it will be listed on the official Code of Conduct website. A draft version of the Code and of the Rules for dispute handling and Council election can be viewed on the official Code of Conduct website, www.coc.eu.
Bob Walraet, Business Manager at EURid, commented, “We felt the time had come to recognize accredited registrars offering a best in class service and that a Code of Conduct was the ideal way in which to do this. The registry believes that allowing registrars subscribing to the Code to carry the official subscriber logo on their websites will enable the public to make a more informed decision when choosing which accredited registrar to use when registering their .eu domains.”
