The impact of Brexit on French domain names
AFNIC, the French domain name Registry, has clarified in a recent publication the impact of Brexit on French domain names.

Anchovy News readers may know, applicants for domain names registered under the .FR country code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) need to be based in the European Union, or in one of the following countries: Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
As the United Kingdom has now left the EU, it is no longer possible for UK-based companies or individuals to register .FR domain names.
However, unlike EURid, the .EU domain name Registry, which has suspended over 81,000 .EU domain names held by UK-based registrants who had not updated their address to one in the EU (see our article in last month’s issue), AFNIC has not made this rule retroactive.
