Over 30,000 applications for .ME to date
Posted on July 8th, 2008 by admin in Domain News | 4 Comments »
The .ME registry reports that over 30,000 applications have arrived to date for the registration of the Montenegrin ccTld .ME.
The next round of registration will start on July 17 on a first-come, first-serve basis. During this period all available domains will be awarded to the first bidders that meet required conditions.
The complete .ME registration schedule went as follows:
* May 6 to May 20: General Sunrise Period. During this time, anyone with a trademark is eligible to apply for a .ME domain.
* May 20 to June 6: Quiet Period. The registry will be closed to registrars. Sunrise auctions will begin for names that were bid on by multiple parties. .ME domain names that receive only one application will be awarded.
* June 6 to June 26: Landrush. This was the first opportunity for the public at large to apply. Anyone who doesn’t have a trademark, but is interested in a specific .ME domain, can apply during this period. This is also when Sunrise challenges begin.
* June 26 to July 15: Quiet Period. During this time, the registry is closed to registrars. Names for which there was only one application during the Landrush Period are allocated. Landrush auctions will begin for names that received multiple applications.
* July 17: Open Registration. Domain names are registered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Do you have any idea when Godaddy will let people know if domains will go to auction or given to individuals…? Landrush ended a few weeks ago and even after calling Godaddy last they’re still sorting out through all the applications.. Kind of weak that they haven’t let people know
It really depends on the .me registry. It’s the same with the .asia auctions… they are still going on – personally I haven’t been happy with their scheduling either.
Well that really sucks. I don’t need my money tied up in redtape for months. I’m giving them until the open registration launch before I start throwing a fit.
@barman,
My answer may have come a little late but I think the answer to your question is July 17. Unless they hit a snag on the sorting out of 30,000 applications.
In any case, in 4 days time if you see that search .me domains option on their homepage, I guess that’s it.
