Set settled through CPE, .Art claims denied — .Radio contention

.Radio contention set resolved and .art still up in the air.

European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has won the contention set for .Radio following prevailing in a Community Priority Evaluation (CPE) for the string.

That means Donuts, Afilias and BRS Media (with Minds + Machines as the back end) are out of the running for the .radio top level domain name.

EBU scored 14 points out of a possible 16. 14 points are required in order to prevail.

It scored 3 out of 4 on Community Establishment and Nexus between String and Community, and 4 out of 4 on Registration Policies and Community Endorsement.

Two other CPE decisions were published today. eFlux Art, LLC and Dadotart, Inc lost their evaluations for .art. Each party scored just 7 points out of 16.

.Art is one of the most contested applications with 10 applicants. That ought to be a fun auction.
