Ireland’s .ie formally changes hands
IE Domain Registry has formally taken the reins at .ie after a decision by ICANN’s board of directors.
The board voted last week to redelegate Ireland’s ccTLD to the company that has in effect been in control of it since the turn of the century.
From the late 1980s, .ie was formally delegated to University College Dublin, which started subcontracting its management to IEDR in 2000.
The redelegation by IANA, now formally approved by ICANN, appears to be a formality, with ICANN saying no significant concerns raised by the university or local internet community.
