Dear colleagues, I have got a request from the company "Einkaufsgenossenschaft des Schweizer- ischen Autogewerbeverbands" to register the domain esa.ch. ESA is the registered name of this company that appears also on their letters. I have called their attention to the fact, that esa stands for European Space Agency in different European countries (e.g. esa.de, esa.es, esa.nl ) and that therfore it is not wise to register esa.ch for something completely different. But they insist on this name. Would you register it? Regards, Willi Huber

If it is indeed their "local name" and they have been warned about the conflict I see no reason why not. Daniel

But they insist on this name. Would you register it? In cases like this I would give international context precedence over national context. I would first contact the European Space Agency to see if they have any plans to register esa.ch in the (near) future. If they do, I would give them the "first option" on that domain, but at the same time I would ask them to register it immediately. Piet

Piet, this is a significant departure from FCFS which should not be done lightly. It establishes a precedent to poll all multi-nationals before registering locally. Daniel
