Yesterday, the last version of the regulations for .CO domains was published on the web site of the Ministry of Communications of Colombia.

On this last version of regulations for domains .CO it is confirmed that accents, Ñ should be allowed and also it has opened the possibility of IDNs of other idioms (including umlauts) which will have to be defined by the new management of .CO domains.

It is also established that those entities that already have registered their domain name under the 3rd level before the approval of the regulations should have priority to register the same domain under the 2nd level (you can read more about 2nd level Columbian domain here ).



There are two elements that call for attention:
1. They will probably choose to have the domain name Conflict resolution UDRP since it is considered to be more practical, leaving on a side the local resolution system, although it had been published on the first regulations that they would eventually have a Resolution Dispute Center.

2. The registrars accredited for domains .CO will be defined by the new management of the ccTLD and the Ministry of Communications, but in the future there would be options for new companies that fulfil the requirements to be accredited registrars of .CO domain names.
