Norid (the .no registry) is considering to make the Norwegian extension also available for individuals. Right now, only companies can register a domain name under the .no extension and they need to meet very strict conditions. For instance, both the owner and the administrative contact of the domain need to be Norwegian business entities and each company can only register 20 .no domain names.

Now the Norwegian registry is considering the release of the .no extension for individuals, similar questions pop up? Is it necessary to release the .no domain for individuals? Should individuals document rights to the name they apply for? Should there be a limit on the number of domains per person? How the transition to the new rules should be carried out?

Still lots of questions the Norwegian registry need to answer. We’ll definitely keep you posted about this issue.
