The registry recently announced the different phases of .me registrations (read our previous article ".me and you? be ready for Montenegro domain names!"). The schedule appears to be similar to .asia launch. However, a Montegrin Sunrise will be first set up and restricted to Montegrin entities. Thus Trademark holders may be preceded by local companies and residents.
