EPP specifications for registrars
Once the new domain rules have come into effect, all domains, over time, will be registered with registrars who will offer users all of the services needed to handle a domain. To make all of this possible, all of the registrars are connected to the central registry for information exchange, so every registrar has the newest information available at any time. In order to achieve this, the Estonian Internet Foundation has released the specifications of the EPP standard used throughout the world for this type of transaction and will deal as a communication language standard between the aforementioned connections to the registry. The EPP specification can be downloaded from the registrar subpage http://www.eestiinternet.ee/eng/registrars/registrar-epp-information.
Requests for additional information can be sent to registrar@eestiinternet.ee.

How Estonia Tamed Domain Dropcatchers: The Story of Domain Auctions
In 2016, the .ee national domain faced a long-standing problem: the unfair technical advantage of so-called domain catchers. The solution? Implement a transparent auction system that would create a level playing field for all interested parties. It wasn’t inspired by anything else but was a purely internal initiative – with the goal of fairness, not profit. The .cz registry did an interview with our Head of Development, Timo Võhmar, and discussed our domain auction system and experiences.
