If the UK proceeds with a “no deal” Brexit, or any kind of Brexit at the end of March data transfers to the UK from EU countries will become much more complicated. At present all members of the EU are covered by the same laws (more or less) so transferring data around with the EU’s… Continue reading Data Transfers Post-Brexit Are Going to get Complicated

EURid Updates Post-Brexit
Brexit will impact many things. One that has not been getting much attention however is domain names and more specifically .eu domains.

European Commission Wants to Kill Off Thousands of EU Domains due to Brexit
After the Brexit vote I posited that there could be an impact on EU registrants based in the UK. Over the past year the UK government has been engaged in negotiations with the EU to navigate the application of Article 50 and the UK’s exit from the European Union. While there has been a lot… Continue reading European Commission Wants to Kill Off Thousands of EU Domains due to Brexit

IE Domains Subject of Another Dáil Question
As I mentioned previously, talk about domain names of any kind in the Irish national parliament (Dáil) is not common. But it’s happened again. Last time round was back in May of last year but an almost identical question was raised in the chamber by Fine Gael’s Neale Richmond recently. The question he asked: Deputy… Continue reading IE Domains Subject of Another Dáil Question
IE Domains Subject of Question in Dáil
It’s not often that domain names get a mention in the Dáil (Irish parliament), so when it happens it’s worth seeing why.

Domains and the 2019 UK Elections
It’s 2019, so any political party that wants to reach the electorate is going to have a digital footprint of some kind. The bigger and better organised parties will invest heavily in a full digital strategy. This is not new. What’s also not new is politicians, lobbyists and political activists setting up various websites that… Continue reading Domains and the 2019 UK Elections
