Sorry your domain name is in the post

Eurid the .eu domain name operator claimed that over 60% of applicants for the first phase of the sunrise period are yet to send in documentary evidence backing up their claim for priority right to register domains names they claimed to own copyright to. This is not surprising, giving that methods Eurid requested the documentary evidence; by snail mail.It is rather ironic that domain names which is rather associated with internet and instant communication needs to be applied for by snail mail. It is not secret that postal system in most EU countries except a handful are less than perfect. I wonder if .eu registry operator ever head of a technology called email and the fact that documents can be attached to emails.

There is also another technology that I am not sure Eurid or the company they appointed to collect the documentary evidence PriceWaterHouseCoopers ever heard of, it is a non so cutting edge technology called facsimile also know as fax . The two aforementioned method of communications are just a few among various quicker alternative to the rather ancient snail mail system Eurid and PriceWaterHouseCoopers insisted on.
