IE Domains Subject of Question in Dáil

May 18, 2021 by Michele Neylon

It's not often that domain names get a mention in the Dáil (Irish parliament), so when it happens it's worth seeing why. Last week IE domain names came up in the Irish parliament due to Brexit related issues with imports of products from outside Ireland. The question was put to the government as follows: "To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he … [Read more...] about IE Domains Subject of Question in Dáil

IE Domain Registry Hiring

December 2, 2020 by Michele Neylon

The .ie ccTLD registry aka IEDR are hiring. (They've recently rebranded to ".ie" and changed their domain over to weare.ie from iedr.ie but I honestly can't see that sticking with a lot of us, without even considering the SEO implications etc.,) They've got an opening in their team for a "Policy and Compliance Officer", which would combine dealing with policy issues as well … [Read more...] about IE Domain Registry Hiring

While the economy might be suffering many of the domain name registries have been reporting their statistics for the second quarter of 2020 and most have seen increases in registrations.

The Puma IE Domain Dispute is Disturbing

July 11, 2019 by Michele Neylon

People and companies register domain names all the time. Sometimes you know exactly why you're registering a domain name and you have very specific plans for it. Other times you don't. However it's a pretty safe bet that if somebody registers a domain that is an exact or very close match to their company name that they're going to use it at some point. It's also very clear to … [Read more...] about The Puma IE Domain Dispute is Disturbing

IE ccTLD to Release Some Reserved Names

April 10, 2019 by Michele Neylon

IEDR will be releasing a small number of previously reserved domain names. In common with many domain registries, the .ie ccTLD has a number of domains that are reserved for a variety of reasons. In the case of .ie one of the legacy policies was a restriction on registering domain names that corresponded to top level domains. While that might have made sense when there was a … [Read more...] about IE ccTLD to Release Some Reserved Names

A Detailed IE Domain Dispute Decision

February 25, 2019 by Michele Neylon

Reading domain dispute decisions is a rather odd way to spend your day, but I'll admit that I do read quite a few of them. Why? Because it's fascinating to see why and how people win or lose these disputes. The .ie ccTLD traditionally has had a very low volume of complaints, with it being rare for them to get more than a handful of complaints per year. With the … [Read more...] about A Detailed IE Domain Dispute Decision
