      "DENIC releases dw.de, e.de, f.de, g.de, hr.de, sr.de, x.de, y.de and z.de for registration
      On 12 January 2011, 10:00 CET, the central German registry DENIC is going to make available nine short domains for registration which were previously blocked due to temporary injunctions: dw.de, e.de, f.de, g.de, hr.de, sr.de, x.de, y.de and z.de.

The registration procedure
      Registration will be made applying DENIC's standard "first come, first served" principle. Since the number of available domains is extremely limited, DENIC will use a special procedure: Applicants will have to submit requests by fax to fax numbers established for this particular purpose. This will be the only permitted submission channel. There will be a separate fax number for each domain, which will be active for a period of 30 minutes. The first period will start on 12 January 2011 at 10:00 CET.
DENIC will accept only registration requests which are submitted on a specific request form designed for this purpose. Interested parties can download this form from the DENIC website: There is a separate form for each domain.
      The fax server is configured to receive no more than one page per fax transmission and will automatically terminate the connection after one page. Thus, interested parties must ensure that their fax machine will not include a cover sheet for the transmission or spread the text over two pages. The above mentioned fax number will be connected 24 hours before the official launch of the registration period, so that own fax configurations can be tested.
      The application form must be completed accurately, fully and legibly, and be signed before it is sent to DENIC. The domain will be assigned to the applicant whose complete, correctly filled in and signed fax application is received first by DENIC after opening of the registration period of the respective domain – synchronized with the time server of DENIC (ntp1.denic.de). Factual registration will be effected immediately afterwards, the domain simultaneously being recorded in the DENIC database. After that, it can ad hoc be queried via the DENIC information services (whois etc.).
      In general, interested parties have to ensure that the registration and intended use of the domain does not infringe anybody else’s rights nor break any general law.
      The holders of the successfully registered domains will be informed by DENIC in writing and must communicate by 26 January 2011 (date of receipt of letter or fax by DENIC) the member of the DENIC Cooperative who is going to administer the domain in the future. Otherwise, the domain will be administered by DENICdirect."
