At the end of September, we welcomed two representatives of the Costa Rican registry. Our colleagues from Costa Rica have been using our registry system FRED for several years to manage their domain space, but most of our communication has taken place in writing. The opportunity for another in-person meeting was therefore exciting for both sides.

On the 15th of November, following the prior maintenance notification, our system administrators have successfully installed a new version of FRED, the system that is the basis of the .cz domain name registry (as well as national domain name registries in a dozen of other countries). What does that actually mean though?
