Irish bid planned for proposed .eu registry
Efforts are being made to assemble an Irish-led consortium to bid for
the operation of the proposed European Union top-level domain (TLD)
registry.

In a pre-emptive move, the IE Domain Registry (IEDR) and its chief
executive, Mr Michael Fagan, have been working on the formation of a
consortium that would run the proposed central registry from an Irish
base.
