The requirement for an Icelandic agent, ID number of registered agent
when registering .is (ccTLD for Iceland) domain names is to be removed
as of 29 October. However domestic registrations will still require ID
numbers for legal reasons and tax purposes. There will be changes to
who is able to be a reseller of .is domain names.
For resellers, there will be changes to enable resellers from abroad to
sell .is domain names. ISNIC have provided an ISP application on their
website to broaden the base of resellers of .is domains
Local agents will still be available for registrants such as foreign
companies requiring a formal presence and for the protection of
trademarks and logos, for example.
There will also be amendments regarding cancelling domain names that
are to introduced shortly, with information to be provided on the ISNIC
website as they become available.
