    Country-code top-level domains

    Overview

    • .ευ is an internationalized country-code top-level domain (IDN ccTLD) representing the European Union in the Greek script.
    • The string transliterates to "eu" in English.
    • Managed by EURid vzw (the European Registry for Internet Domains).
    • Implemented / delegation initiated on July 18, 2019.
    • IDN: Yes; script: Greek.

    History

    • April 22, 2002: EU Regulation 733/2002 established the .eu TLD (took effect April 30, 2002).
    • May 21, 2003: European Commission (with Member States) appointed EURid as manager of .eu; formal delegation of .eu to EURid occurred in May 2005.
    • May 5, 2010: An application was made under the ICANN ccTLD IDN Fast Track Process to recognize the strings "ευ" (Greek) and "ею" (Cyrillic) as representing the European Union.
    • 2012: The Cyrillic string passed DNS Stability Panel evaluation; the Greek string was initially rejected due to an "unacceptably high risk of user confusion."
    • September 2014: Extended Process Similarity Review Panel found the uppercase Greek string could be confusingly similar to ISO 3166-1 entries EV and EY.
    • February 12, 2016: The .ею (Cyrillic) TLD was delegated to EURid.
    • March 29, 2019: ICANN released an updated IDN ccTLD Fast Track Final Implementation Plan; EURid proposed risk mitigation measures for .ευ to be implemented before launch.
    • April 2019: EURid's Service Concession Contract with the European Commission was extended until October 12, 2022.
    • June 5, 2019: ICANN announced successful string evaluation completion for the proposed Greek IDN ccTLD.
    • July 18, 2019: EURid initiated the request for delegation of .ευ, which was granted and marked in the implementation timeline.
