University College, Dublin is the body responsible for operating the IE Domain Registry. However, the registry is run in a very untransparent fashion.

I wanted to break the veil of secrecy, so I put in a request under Ireland's Freedom of Information Act to see files relating to the IE Domain Registry. Despite a lot of objections from UCD and the Registry, I've just received this ruling from the Information Commissioner confirming that I am entitled to see these files.

Nice one Antoin, well done. The reasons cited for refusal by UCD are pretty interesting.

Yes, nice work.

I didn't read far enough to see when the information would be available?

Are you expecting further legal appeals?
