History
In 2008, dotCYMRU, dotEUS, dotSCOT, and dotBZH formed ECLID. In May 2012, the PuntuEus foundation applied to ICANN have a domain that represented the Basque language.[1][2] On 10 June 2013, ICANN approved the creation of the domain.[3] Use of the domain name was restricted until March–April 2014. However, ICANN facilitated an eus qualified launch program that allowed certain websites to claim a .eus domain before this General Registration date.[4]
Registration Policy
Like many domain name, .eus has requirements for websites registering under it. Websites under this domain must follow the Registration Policy set forth by the .eus TLD, the Registration Agreement provided by the sponsoring registrar, and any other policies mandated by ICANN.[5]
Those who do register must have membership to the Basque linguistics and cultural community as well as have a website that is beneficial to the community.[6] Domain names under .eus are distributed at a "first come first serve" basis, and are processed in chronological order of the receipt for the domain.[7]
