The Sunrise will open on March 5, 2012 and ends on March 18th. It has been separated into a “request” period and an “analysis” period. During the request period the administrative contact for any existing third level .gt domain name, which is not expired or disabled, may request:

A .gt IDN that is equivalent to the existing third level domain name. Note: the IDN request can only include letter changes corresponding to: á é í ó ú ü ñ (e.g., change “lapiz.com.gt” to “lápiz.com.gt”)

A second level domain name that is equivalent to the existing third level domain name (e.g., register “lapiz.gt” and/or “lápiz.gt” for the existing “lapis.com.gt”)

The analysis period opens on March 19th and closes on May 28th. The typical “first come, first served” policy will not be followed and the Registry has reserved the right to request supporting documentation. During this time all eligible domain names will be identified and reserved in the Registry’s system for a maximum of 30 days

The registry then opens on the 29th of May 2012

Anyone will be allowed to apply for an available domain name, IDN or second level domain.

Applications will be process on a “first come, first serve” basis.
