[eccr] Green light for .eu registry

Green light for .eu registry
-----------------------------
A decision adopted by the European Commission has approved the criteria
for the registry which will take care of the administration, management
and marketing of the new '.eu' domain name.

Applications for the role of agency are required before October 25, with
those that emphasise geographical diversity being especially encouraged.
There will be no payment by the EU for the registry, as its revenues
will be derived from third parties. It must also be a non-profit making
agency. 

Following its selection, the registry's status will be confirmed through
a contract with the European Commission and an agreement with the
internet corporation for assigned names and numbers, ICANN.
