From July 12th, to September 26th, 2010, AFNIC carried out a public consultation on opening the .fr Top Level Domain to European companies and individuals residing within the European Union.

A preliminary draft of the changes to the rules for registration of the .fr TLD, based on recommendations by the AFNIC Legal working group, the Consultative Committees and the contributions received during the public consultation, will be submitted to the next Board of Directors, to be held on November 19th.
The opening of the .fr TLD to Europe is scheduled for late 2011.
