Last Regulations Published for Domain .CO
Yesterday, it was published on the web site of the Ministry of Communications of Colombia the last version of the regulations that will be enforce for domains .CO. On this last version of regulations for domains .CO it is confirm that accents, Ñ should be allow and also it is open the possibility of IDNs of other idioms which will have to be define by the new management of domains .CO. It is also established that those entities that already have registered their domain under the 3rd level before the approval of the regulations should have priority to register the same domain under the 2nd level. There are two elements that call for attention: 1.- They will probably choose to have the Conflict resolution UDRP since it is consider to be more practical, leaving on a side the local resolution system, although it had been published on the first regulations that they would eventually have a Resolution Dispute Center, which should not be developed now. 2.- The registrars accredited for domains .CO will be defined by the new management of the ccTLD and the Ministry of Communications, but in the future there would be options for new companies that fulfill the requirements for accreditation and have no link with the management of the ccTLD to be accredited registrars of domains .CO.
