===Sunrise period===
The [[sunrise period]] was broken into two phases. The first phase, which began on 7 December 2005 was to facilitate applications by registrants with prior rights based on trademarks and geographic names. The second phase began on 7 February 2006 and covered company, trade and personal names. In the case of all Sunrise applications, the application needed to be accompanied by documents proving the claim to ownership of a certain right. The decision was then made by [[PricewaterhouseCoopers]] Belgium, which had been chosen as the validation agent by [[EURid]].

On 7 February 2006, the registry was opened for company, trade and personal names. In the first 15&nbsp;minutes, there were 27,949 total applications, and after one hour, 71,235.
