AFNIC's consultative committees specify the calendar for the EPP spread out and work on the marketing strategy of the .fr

The AFNIC's consultative committees took place once again on October 9th and 10th 2008 in order to give an update on the actions decided in Spring and debate the 2009 action plan that will be submitted for approval to the Board of Directors on November 14th.

Ratified last Spring, the EPP spread out was evoked in detail. The launch of the EPP services should take place on March 30th 2009.

The consultative committees also worked on the .fr marketing analysis made by AFNIC and the strategy to promote the .fr, by putting a slant on new ways of collaborations between AFNIC and its registrars.

The suggested orientation, to make the .fr the favorite one amongst the companies and individuals that wish to address themselves to French people in French, was largely supported. This approach will continue to promote the .fr by refering to values it is already associated with in the minds of the Internet users: the French-speaking world, the belonging to the French Internet community and proximity.
