From mid-January 2008, SIDN is making it possible to register all-numeric .NL domain names. In anticipation of this move, SIDN is giving trademark and trading name owners the opportunity to claim numeric domain names corresponding to their trademarks or trading names. This opportunity is being provided through a “sunrise scheme” that SIDN is organising in collaboration with Deloitte. Owners of trademarks and trading names can use the sunrise scheme to make claims for ‘their’ domain names between 1 and 14 December 2007. Please be aware that the order in which applications for a specific domain in the sunrise will be validated depends on the outcome of a lottery instead on a first come – first served basis.
