• You are the sole applicant: In case you are the only one applying for the concerned Domain Name throughout the Landrush, then the Domain Name will be allocated to you post the Landrush.
• There are multiple applicants: In case there are more than one applications for that Domain Name, the Registry will allocate the Domain place based on an Auction. You will then be able to register that Domain Name only by placing the highest bid for it. This Auction will be conducted by the .ME Registry and take place post the Landrush. If your Domains’ do qualify for an auction, you will be notified of the date of the auction and the auction site URL. In addition, the applicant will be sent credentials (via email) that must be used prior to the start of the auction to establish a qualified bidder’s account.
