The Com Laude (www.comlaude.com) newsletter is packed with interesting news presented clearly and concisely covering all things domain related from around the world. The Winter 2012 Newsletter is not yet on their website but reports developments in Egypt, Sudan and Tunisia.
For Egypt Com Laude report: ".eg - second-level for marks. The Egyptian Registry, EUN, has lifted restrictions on .EG domains for trademark holders. since 12 November 2012, second-level .EG domain names have been available for holders of trade marks registered in Egypt either regionally, through the Egyptian Trademarks Office, or internationally through WIPO. Previously a local presence was required. Domains should match the trademark registration, however they may not be used for websites which go against local traditional and conventional ethics, for example gambling, alcoholic beverages, or sexual websites. Domains must be used by the owner only and shouldn't be sold to any institution unless related to the registered owner. It is estimated that there are just under 30 million Internet users in Egypt, a country which famously severed the majority of its Internet connection amid growing unrest in January 2011."
For Sudan Com Laude report: " Sudan passes IDN String Evaluation. ICANN has announced the successful completion of the string Evaluation on the proposed Arabic IDN ccTLD string for sudan. The IDN (Internationalised Domain Name) ccTLD Fast Track Process was approved by the ICANN Board at its annual meeting in seoul, south Korea on 30 October 2009 and enables countries and territories to submit requests to ICANN for IDN ccTLDs, representing their respective country or territory names in scripts other than Latin. 31 requests have successfully passed through the string Evaluation so far, including most recently мон, the Cyrillic IDN ccTLD string for Mongolia, in June 2012."
For Tunisia Com Laude report: " .tunis in Arabic - “Go Live” begins. The Tunisian Internet Agency, ATI, is hoping to encourage the development of Arabic content and increase the visibility of local content internationally through the launch of the new Arabic IDN (.tunis). The Go Live Period is now open to anyone who wants to register. The new extension currently accounts for 2.79%of the 16,917 domains registered in Tunisia, a country with an estimated population of just under 10.7 million."
This part of the Empty Quarter thanks Com Laude for their excellent newsletter and for news about goings on with domains in the sand.
