Currently if the owner of a .eu domain breaks the rules set down
by administrator EURid that person has 14 days in which to comply
with the rules. Under changes to EURid's terms and conditions and
its registration policy it will, from February, have the power to
suspend and block access to the domain for that 14 day period.
Breaches include using the domain name in bad faith or for an
unlawful purpose or in a way that violates any third party rights,
laws or regulations, including discrimination on the basis of race,
language, sex, religion or political viewpoint.
"At least 14 days before revoking the Domain Name, the Registry
shall by e-mail notify the Registrant and/or the Registrar through
whom the Domain Name has been registered, affording the Registrant
and/or the Registrar the opportunity to remedy, where possible, the
aforementioned grounds for revocation," says the new registration
policy document.
"As of the moment the Registry has notified the Registrant
and/or the Registrar it may suspend the concerned Domain Name(s),"
it says.
In the new terms and conditions document, a new power has been
added. "The Registry shall be entitled to immediately suspend or
cancel the Domain Name when the Registrant is in breach of the
Rules," it says.
