Registrars prepare for the .ME extension landrush. ME-net, GoDaddy.com and Afilias Limited have been chosen as registry partners. The landrush schedule is as follows:

May 6 to May 20: General Sunrise Period. For trademark holders.

May 20 to June 6: Quiet Period. Names that receive more than one application will go into auction.

June 6 to June 26: Landrush. This is open to anyone. 

June 26 to July 15: Quiet Period. 

July 17: Open Registration.  First come, first serve basis.

 “We believe .ME has incredible potential for Internet users worldwide,” said Predag Lesic, the registry’s executive director. “Think about it, with a .ME domain, the Internet will, quite simply, be all about YOU. For the first time in Internet history, domain names are essentially personal.”

.ME domains, with their universal appeal, are expected to be in high demand. So some “premium” names – including verb-oriented domains, such as “Contact.ME,” “Drive.ME” or “Fly.ME,” – will be held back for auction after Open Registration.
