After the successful opening of the .fr to individuals that reinforced their cooperation, the AFNIC and EuroDNS wish to end the legal dispute that opposed them since 2004. The litigation was based on 4465 domain names registered through EuroDNS that were blocked following a decision from AFNIC’s Board of directors.
Under the dispositions agreed with EuroDNS, the remaining domain names that have not yet been transmitted or deleted, will be unblocked by AFNIC shortly. EuroDNS renews its commitment to transfer any domain name for which a documented claim should arise from any entity carrying the relevant documentary evidence.
With this agreement, both AFNIC and EuroDNS show their common commitment to the .fr naming rules and the consultation principles that govern the relationships between AFNIC and its Registrars. The Registry and the Registrar both intend to continue building a constructive relationship, as they already do within AFNIC working groups.
