Dear Customer,
In response to the United Kingdom’s decision to officially withdraw from the European Union, the .EU TLD Registry (EURid) has published their plan and timeline to address necessary changes on their "Brexit notice" page. The page provides further clarity on who can hold a .EU domain name once the UK's Brexit transition period ends on December 31, 2020 and identifies what actions UK based .EU domain owners will need to take. If you have not already, we recommend reviewing the information provided on that page.
How Should You Prepare?
1. Keep in mind that EURid will begin contacting your impacted customers on October 1, 2020. You may wish to reach out beforehand, or simply ready your support team. Details about EURid’s communication plan is provided in their link above.
2. Advise those registrants who can to update their information to meet the eligibility requirements as soon as possible. This will ensure their domain name(s) does not fall into Withdrawn status and become inactive on January 1, 2021 according to EURid’s timeline. Note that in those EURid communications mentioned above, they suggest UK based customers to register .UK domains as an alternative.
3. If you haven’t already, consider restricting multi-year renewals and registrations for UK customers. This will help avoid situations where a UK customer pays a sizable renewal fee, only to lose their .EU domain name a few months later.
