Eligibility Requirements

Eligibility Requirements For All Launch Phases

To register and renew a .radio domain name the registrant must be an individual or a legal entity with a nexus to the .radio community. This nexus means that the registrant must be linked to the community at the time of registration and thereafter. Validation of said nexus will be carried out on a case by case basis by the .radio Registry Operator.
Examples of a valid nexus are, among others, broadcasting livestreams, radio programs related content, individual radio professional activities, radio-related events, radio-related services or equipment provision and diffusion, and any other in which the registrant provides content for the benefit and advancement of the .radio community.
Registrants are required to state the intended use for the registered domain name. A false statement of intended use is an indication of bad faith and may be the basis for the suspension of the domain name.
