As of 15 September 2021, the registration of domain names ending in -gouv.fr will be prohibited.
Following consultation with all of the stakeholders concerned by this change, the registration of domain names ending in -gouv.fr will be prohibited, as will their IDN versions, due to their strong similarity to “.gouv.fr”.
Afnic has also transcribed into its Naming Charter the new provisions of Law No. 2020-1508 of 3 December 2020 (known as the DDADUE Law), which strengthens the powers of the DGCCRF (French General Directorate for Competition Policy, Consumer Affairs and Fraud Control) in the event of offences or breaches of the rules protecting consumers’ economic interests and the rules on the compliance and security of Internet products.
Consequently, upon receiving an injunction from the DGCCRF that falls within the compass of this Law, Afnic will henceforth block, delete or transfer to the competent authority the domain name concerned within 48 hours following receipt of the injunction.
