On 11 May, AFNIC submitted its applications to manage the 11 French country code top level domains (ccTLDs) with the Ministry of Economy, Finance and Industry.

• .FR for France;
• .BL for Saint-Barthélemy;
• .GF for French Guiana;
• .GP for Guadeloupe;
• .MF for Saint-Martin;
• .MQ for Martinique;
• .PM for Saint-Pierre and Miquelon;
• .RE for Reunion Island
• .TF for the French Southern and Antarctic Territories;
• .WF for Wallis and Futuna;
• .YT for Mayotte.

AFNIC also announced they received support from more than 660 parties for its applications to act as the registry for the ccTLDs, including:

• 305 individuals
• 172 companies
• 104 registrars
• 38 registries
• 8 legal experts and intellectual property specialists
• 19 representatives from academia and research
