And the good thing is that there will be thousands of GOOD domains to get now, so prepare yourself....

No surnrise periods were in the past.

The most reasonable is to give them to register for anyone want (at least I hope that it will be done this way....)

A handful of .eu domain names have already been suspended as their holders have not been able to show that they are based within the EU.

The outcome of the suspended domain names now awaits a court decision. EURid would later like to make the names available for registration again.

Yes, this looks good but don't forget the people from the sunrise paid a lot of money without a (full) refund, if there are people knowing from names that are claimed during the sunrise and afterwards they are registered by someone else they will be very pissed off
