.FR tender published
Thursday, January 15. 2009
French authorities have published the long-awaited (in France at least) tender for .FR. Incumbent registry AFNIC is widely expected to retain the position when the winner is announced, probably in April this year.
This is the final episode in a drawn-out saga that saw the French government launch a public consultation almost a year ago to ascertain how .FR should be run. That the government would even consider replacing AFNIC surprised many in France, especially as it has a cast iron majority on the AFNIC board, of which I have been an elected member since 2004.
Time limit for the tender has been set at 16:00 French time on March 8, 2009. During the first 25 days of the process, candidates will be able to send questions to the government. These, and the answers given to them, will be posted on the government's website for public access.
