Transition from .yu to .rs

Current registrants of .yu domains will have certain privileges while
registering .rs domains. Before .rs domain registration is open to the
public, all .yu domain names will be reserved in .rs domain space, for
a period of six months, according to following rules:

- Registrants of .yu domains will have their domain name reserved
in .rs space (eg. eunet.yu -> eunet.rs)

a first come first serve basis.

After the initial six months, reservations will be cancelled and
