I wonder if they will stick to the timetable.
How many times where they saying 'soon'...?

Yes. But it seems like this will be out for sure by March 2006..

Gaaaawd!, I waited so long for this I decided to invest in .COM instead. .EU must take the Guinness Book Of World Records for the slowest expected domain to emerge. I'm not hanging onto my horses for this slowcoach.

They need to translate the .eu rules into maltese, estonian etc. It takes forever. Add to that that the US in draging its feet, and the EU is a bureancratic (toothless) monster... + they want to make sure the domain name will be protected from cybersquatting, foreign/speculative registration... Perhaps in 2012 when Morrocco will be part of the EU

I agree that they are slow, but... Morocco part of the EU???
I guess when Peru becomes the 55th State, maybe :-)
