The Council of the Estonian Internet Foundation (EIF) has made an important decision to make .ee domain disputes easier and more affordable.

The fees will also depend on who is filing the challenge.

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.
