Unannounced sunrise for .pa!

The registry of Panama is holding an unannounced sunrise for second level domain name registrations under .pa. Until now, only registrations under subdomains like .com.pa or .org.pa where possible. While not officially announced on the registries website yet, we have received confirmation that a sunrise procedure for direct registrations under .pa has started. Any holder of a .com.pa domain name registered before January 31’th 2012 may register the same domain name directly under .pa. Sunrise requests for a domain name in Panama directly under .pa can already be made via this link.

There is no exact dead-line known yet for the end of the sunrise, but the registry expects to open up .pa for general availability during the 3’th quarter of this year.
