Heiki Sibul will continue as the head of the Estonian Internet Foundation
Heiki Sibul has been leading EIF since 2012. Under Sibul's leadership, the .ee registry has demonstrated sustainable operations and stood out as a leading developer and innovator in the field throughout Europe by launching both domain auctions and services supporting .ee registration. In addition, the local internet community is actively involved through several events such as Internet Day and Opinion Festival, as well as supporting projects and activities popularizing the field.
Heiki Sibul is happy to continue the open and development-oriented management of the .ee registry: "EIF continues to dedicate itself to serving the internet community. It is important to ensure sustainable operation in an uncertain economic environment, so that the credibility of .ee as an Estonian national domain grows even more. I want to use my experience in the best way to create a freer, fairer and safer internet."
The Estonian Internet Foundation manages the .ee top-level domain and represents the Estonian Internet community. The Foundation's council consists of Eneken Lipp, Erik Janson, Karmen Turk, Toomas Vaks, Tõnu Grünberg, and Aet Rahe (chairman).
