"As a result of the withdrawal of the United Kingdom, a holder of a domain name does no longer fulfil the general eligibility criteria... the Registry for .eu will be entitled to revoke such domain name on its own initiative and without submitting the dispute to any extrajudicial settlement of conflicts."
Apply usual Reg pinch of salt of course. The real announcement states 'this information is subject to any transitional arrangement that may be contained in a possible withdrawal agreement, which is an ongoing negotiation between the United Kingdom and European Commission.' So I guess the plan is to get an agreement in place to avoid this.]]>brexit domains dot-eu eu uk dns the-registerhttps://pinboard.in/https://pinboard.in/u:jm/b:2626bed794a4/IBM broke its cloud by letting three domain names expire - The Register2017-10-20T10:42:40+00:00

jmFifteen years ago this month the BBC launched its News Online website. Developed internally with a skeleton team, the web service rapidly became the face of the BBC on the internet, and its biggest success story – winning four successive BAFTA awards.
Remarkably, it operated at a third of the cost of rival commercial online news operations – unheard of in public-sector IT projects. Devised before there were really any content management systems, the technical architecture became a template for all major news systems, and one that’s still in use today. The team endured some furious internal politicking and sabotage to survive.
