It's the registrar rules being enforced exactly like they always have been. The Rules say "EU only". If the UK is no longer in the EU then the simply conclusion is that the domain ownership will be revoked.
- jwilk 9y agoThe rules say: EU, or Iceland, or Norway, or Liechtenstein.
- zerostar07 9y agoalso, the rules are not set in stone
- tscs37 9y agoUntil the rules are changed, UK domain owners will be thrown out in March 2019.
- icebraining 9y agoNo; UK domain owners will be prevented from renewing their domains, but it doesn't say they'll automatically lose them. From what I can tell, if you renew just before March 2019, you can keep your domain until 2029. Although, the Registry will be able to revoke them, so it's not guaranteed.
- codepope2014 9y agoThe rules say European Economic Area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Economic_Area https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Economic_Area). Which the UK is, ridiculously, also leaving, but does include Iceland, Norway and Liechtenstein as EFTA members.
- jwilk 9y agoFWIW, the Domain Name Registration Policy (https://eurid.eu/media/filer_public/76/48/7648e621-0c5d-4c09-8bde-e5622cb6b23e/registration_policy_en.pdf https://eurid.eu/media/filer_public/76/48/7648e621-0c5d-4c09... , linked from https://eurid.eu/en/register-a-eu-domain/rules-for-eu-domains/ https://eurid.eu/en/register-a-eu-domain/rules-for-eu-domain...) doesn't mention EEA; it spells out the 3 extra countries explicitly.
