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.
