Highlights include: - Three major releases; - 161 690 new domain name registrations recorded; - Norway tops the list of top growth countries at +10.9 %; - An average renewal rate of 80 % Total registrations decreased from 3 617 536 at the end of Q3 to 3 606 311 at the end of Q4. This is attributed to continuous uncertainties surrounding Brexit and the .eu extension. Developments throughout the quarter included: - participation in the Codeweek initiative for the fourth year running, with ten free workshops and interactive sessions for children and teachers; - winning Registry of the Year at the 2019 CENTR Awards; - launching the new eligibility criteria, extending the registration of .eu domain names to all EU citizens living around the world; - adding a third extension to the portfolio - .?u, the .eu in Greek; - launching the Abuse Prevention and Early Warning System (APEWS) in order to detect malicious registrations.
