Eurid's Quarterly Progress Report 08SECOND Quarter EURid’s QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT SECOND 08QUARTER “We immediately saw the symbolic value of adopting the .eu domain name. Because it strongly expresses who we really are and what we stand for. Besides that, it helps generate more visibility for our website in the search engines. We also see that it is a very powerful illustration of our cross-border capability, which is essential if you talk about corporate or investment banking, because we strive on making the right connec- tions between countries. It sends a very strong signal internally but also to our customers and other stakeholders. To me, the .eu domain name carries a very strong subconscious connotation of the best in Europe, the best of Europe. So, any in- stitution, any company that really wants to express this ´Europeaness´ should go for it today rather than tomorrow.” Marc Beckers, unicreditgroup.eu, Italy TABLE OF CONTENTS IN BRIEF 4 COMMENTS FROM THE GENERAL MANAGER 5 BACKGROUND ON EURID AND .EU 6 ORGANISATION 7 UPDATE 8 INTERNATIONAL 9 THE .EU DOMAIN 10 THE REGISTRANTS 14 THE REGISTRARS 18 HUMAN RESOURCES 20 MANAGEMENT TEAM 22 THE BOARD AND STRATEGIC COMMITTEE 24 4 EURid’S QUARTERLY PROGRess REPORT IN BrIEF The .eu top level domain saw a variety of developments over The top ten list of countries by total .eu domain name the second quarter of 2008.

I am pleased to report that .eu is also connected to values such as innovative, reliable, credible and trustworthy.

  • 10 Years of .Eu!
    10 years of .eu! This week .eu, the EU's internet address, turns ten years old. Since 7 April 2006 .eu has provided a unique European domain for people and organisations in the European Union. At the end of 2015 .eu was the eleventh largest top level domain in the world, with almost 4 million registrants. Compared to the largest country extensions – .de, .cn, .uk, .nl and .ru – the .eu domain ranks sixth in the world. Top 10 countries with the most .eu registrations. .eu is catching up both with the top level domains that have existed since the late nineties, such as .com, .info, .net and .org and is competing with new top-level domains introduced in 2014 such as .guru, .expert, .book or .london. .eu in the Digital Single Market Over the past decade, the .eu top-level domain has contributed to the development of the digital economy and achieving a European Digital Single Market. A growing number of Europe-focused companies boost their online presence with a .eu domain name. A .eu website tells customers that the brand concerns a legal entity in the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein or Norway and, as such, is subject to the trading and consumer laws of these countries. Having a .eu extension also makes it easier for businesses to grow across borders, to address the needs of customers in other countries, which is the very essence of having a single market. The .eu domain name is also one of the safest domain name extensions, as the registry offers a Domain Name System Security Extension solution.
