Punktum dk hereby invites registrars to a written consultation regarding significant upcoming changes/requirements in the Registrar Contract taking effect from July 1, 2027.
The Registrar Contract will be updated as a result of Punktum dk's decision to change its administrative model and transition to full registrar management. Hence, registrants have since July 1, 2026, had to choose a registrar to handle their .dk domain names when registering new domain names, and registrant management will cease definitively as of July 1, 2028.

The purpose of the new requirements in the Registrar Contract
The new requirements in the Registrar Contract reflect that Punktum dk wants registrars that:
- have the sale and administration of domain names as an integrated part of their business.
- have professional customer service.
- have secure systems and secure solutions.
- have the ability to work digitally.
The upcoming requirements in Registrar Contract II were presented and reviewed in general terms at registrar meetings in February 2026, and an overview of the main points of the new requirements was subsequently sent to the registrars in April 2026. A draft of Registrar Contract II with the new specific requirements was presented at a meeting with a registrar working group in September 2026 and at a meeting for all registrars in October 2026. The two meetings gave registrars the opportunity to provide oral comments on the changes to the Registrar Contract.
To ensure that the new and stricter requirements as set out in the Registrar Contract do not establish unintended and insurmountable technical barriers to the registrars' business, Punktum dk also invites registrars to a written consultation on the changes to the Registrar Contract.
Consultation responses regarding the changes to the Registrar Contract should be sent via email to: hoering@punktum.dk no later than December 4, 2026.
