The launch includes the Icelandic, Danish, Finnish, Swedish and Norwegian languages. Scandinavian IDNs will be available for registration within the second and third level domains of .co, .com.co, .net.co, .nom.co and any restricted third level domains (.org.co, .mil.co, .gov.co, .edu.co).  .CO is dedicated to ensuring that the rights of brand owners are considered and protected, and any that wish to take proactive steps to protect their marks, are urged to contact their registrar or reseller for details as soon as possible.  All IDN .CO domain names are available for general registration beginning today.
