The second phase began on 7 February 2006 and covered company, trade and personal names. In the case of all Sunrise applications, the application needed to be accompanied by documents proving the claim to ownership of a certain right. The decision was then made by <a href="/wiki/PricewaterhouseCoopers" class="mw-redirect" title="PricewaterhouseCoopers">PricewaterhouseCoopers</a> Belgium, which had been chosen as the validation agent by <a href="/wiki/EURid" title="EURid">EURid</a>. </p><p>On 7 February 2006, the registry was opened for company, trade and personal names.

Most people requesting domains had asked their registrars to put their requested domains in a queue, ensuring the best chance to register a domain. This way more than 700,000 domains were registered during the first 4 hours of operation. Some large registrars like <a href="/wiki/GoDaddy" title="GoDaddy">GoDaddy</a> and small registrars like <a href="/wiki/Dotster" class="mw-redirect" title="Dotster">Dotster</a> suffered from long queues and unresponsiveness, allowing people to 'beat the queue' by registering through a registrar that had already processed its queue. By August 2006, 2 Million .eu domains had been registered. It was then fourth-largest ccTLD in Europe, after <a href="/wiki/.de" title=".de">.de</a>, <a href="/wiki/.uk" title=".uk">.uk</a> and <a href="/wiki/.nl" title=".nl">.nl</a>, and is one of the largest internationally. </p><p>The number of .eu domain registrations during the year after the landrush 7 April 2006 to 6 April 2007 seems to have peaked at approximately 2.6 million .eu domains. The market adjustment that follows a landrush in any domain name extension ensures that the number of registered domains will fall as many speculative domain registrations that failed to be resold will not be renewed. This is sometimes referred to as the <i>Junk Dump</i>. On the morning of 7 April 2007, the number of active .eu domains stood at 2,590,160 with approximately 15,000 domains having been deleted since 5 April 2007. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Stabilisation">Stabilisation</h3><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=.eu&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Stabilisation" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div> <p>Approximately 1.5 million .eu domains were up for renewal in April 2007. The EURid registry software is based on the DNS.be software and domains are physically renewed at the end of the month of their anniversary of registration. This process differs from more sophisticated registries like that of <a href="/wiki/.com" title=".com">.com</a> <a href="/wiki/TLD" class="mw-redirect" title="TLD">TLD</a> and other <a href="/wiki/CcTLD" class="mw-redirect" title="CcTLD">ccTLDs</a> that operate on a daily basis. As with any post-landrush phase, an extension shrinks as the <i>Junk Dump</i> takes effect. </p><p>Over one year after the launch of .eu (5 July 2007), the number of <a href="/wiki/.de" title=".de">.de</a> domains registered was 11,079,557 according to the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070629120049/http://www.denic.de/en/domains/statistiken/index.html">German .de registry's statistics page</a>, while number of German owned .eu domains according to <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070710114305/http://status.eurid.eu/registered.html">EURid's statistics page</a> was 796,561. The number of <a href="/wiki/.uk" title=".uk">.uk</a> domains registered was 6,038,732 according to <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.nominet.org.uk/intelligence/statistics/registration/">.uk registry Nominet's statistics page</a>. The number of apparently UK owned .eu domains was 344,584. </p><p>The extent of the shrinkage of .eu ccTLD is difficult to estimate because EURid does not publish detailed statistics on the number of new domains registered each day.

Particularly, he condemned the use of shell companies by some registrars. In his blog, he stated "These companies, instead of only registering their real active registrars, created hundreds of new "phantom" registrars."<sup id="cite_ref-landrush_26-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-landrush-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Parsons cited a group of about 400 companies, all with similar address and contact information based in New York, each registered as an <a href="/wiki/Limited_liability_company" title="Limited liability company">LLC</a>; in his opinion, these were phantom registrars "created to hijack the .EU landrush." </p><p>These "phantom" registrars effectively had hundreds of opportunities of registering a domain whereas a genuine registrar effectively only had one opportunity to register the same domain. Thus some registrants were crowded out of the .eu landrush process and many generic .eu domain names are now owned by the companies using these "phantom" registrars. </p><p>Patrik Lindén, spokesman for EURid at the time, denied the allegations by Parsons, stating that "[EURid] verified that each registrar was an individual legal entity. Each had to sign an agreement with us, and prepay €10,000."<sup id="cite_ref-refutation_27-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-refutation-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Parsons did not dispute that each registrar was a separate legal entity, but noted that creating such entities was trivial: "Mr. Linden seemed proud that the EURid registry verified that each applicant was a legal entity before it was accredited. Take a moment and think about what that means. You can form a "legal entity" for $50 – an LLC – and you are good to go. Is that what we want a registry to do? Don't we want them instead to make sure that the organization it allows to provide end-users with its domain names – especially Europe's very own domain name – are actually in the domain name registration business?"<sup id="cite_ref-entity_28-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-entity-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Others claimed that .eu domain had been actively targeted during the sunrise period by speculators using fast-track Benelux trademarks to create <i>prior rights</i> on various high-value generic terms and during the landrush by speculators using EU front companies in the UK and Cyprus to register large numbers of domains. While speculative activity occurred with the launch of other domains, it was the scale of the activity that called into question the competence of EURid in protecting the integrity of eu ccTLD. </p><p>The EURid organisation investigated some allegations of abuse, and in July 2006 announced the suspension of over 74,000 domain names and that they were suing 400 registrars for breach of contract.<sup id="cite_ref-29" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-29"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The status of the domains was changed from <i>active</i> to <i>on-hold</i>. This meant that the domains could not be moved or have their ownership changed. The registrars also lost their access to the EURid registration database meaning that they could no longer register .eu domain names. The legal action relates to the practice of <a href="/wiki/Domain_name_warehousing" title="Domain name warehousing">domain name warehousing</a>, whereby large numbers of domain names are registered, often by registrars, with the intention of subsequently selling them on to third parties. EURid rules state that applications for domains can only be made after a legitimate application has been made to a registrar. The 74,000 applications were made in the name of only three Cyprus registered companies – Ovidio Ltd., Fausto Ltd. and Gabino Ltd. </p><p>The affected registrars, joined in the action by the affected registrants, obtained a provisional order from the <a href="/wiki/European_Court_of_First_Instance" class="mw-redirect" title="European Court of First Instance">Court of First Instance</a> in Brussels, Belgium on 27 September 2006. The court ordered EURid to release the blocked domain names or else pay a fine of €25,000 per hour for each affected domain name. EURid complied with the court order and changed the status of the domains from <i>on-hold</i> to <i>active</i> and restored EURid registration database access to the affected registrars. </p><p>The main legal action, that of EURid seeking the registrar agreements between EURid and the registrars in question to be dissolved has still to be heard. </p> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2
