We’re thrilled to introduce Laetitia Ribier-Costa, our new Head of Sales! With a rich background in sales, account management, and business development, Laetitia brings a wealth of experience and insight to our company. We sat down with her to discuss her journey, her vision for Openprovider, and what excites her about her new role.



<h2 id="h-can-you-tell-us-a-bit-about-your-background-and-how-it-led-you-to-join-openprovider">Can you tell us a bit about your background and how it led you to join Openprovider?</h2>



I&#8217;ve been working in sales since the start of my career &#8211; that&#8217;s 14 years now! I’ve had the opportunity to grow in various roles, from business development to account management to management positions. I spent six years at LinkedIn, where I learned a lot about account management, business development, talent management, RevOps, and more. Afterward, I moved into consulting, where I spent two years advising startups and scale-ups on growing and scaling more effectively. I was hands-on, building and executing the roadmap myself. It was fulfilling work, but I wanted to make a long-term impact. That led me to Openprovider &#8211; I’m eager to apply my experiences here and make a lasting difference.



<h2 id="h-what-excites-you-most-about-taking-on-the-role-of-head-of-sales-at-openprovider">What excites you most about taking on the role of Head of Sales at Openprovider?</h2>



There’s so much potential here. A foundation exists, and now it’s about making it stronger so we can grow at a higher rate and increase profitability. Building on what we already have is very exciting to me.



<h2 id="h-what-are-your-main-priorities-and-goals-for-the-sales-team-in-the-coming-months">What are your main priorities and goals for the sales team in the coming months?</h2>



First, I want to ensure that everyone on the team has an even stronger skill set. The goal is for each individual to feel empowered and equipped to do their best work. Additionally, we’ll focus on engaging with businesses that bring us the highest margin as quickly as possible. It’s all about smart growth.



<h2 id="h-what-strategies-do-you-plan-to-implement-to-help-our-customers-grow-and-succeed">What strategies do you plan to implement to help our customers grow and succeed?</h2>



First and foremost, we need to have quality conversations with our customers. We need to position ourselves as more than just a domain registrar that offers <a href="http://openprovider.com/membership-plans">domains at cost price</a> because we have so much more to offer. We have a wealth of knowledge, insights, and thought leadership that we can share with our customers to help them grow.



<h2 id="h-what-are-you-most-looking-forward-to-in-working-with-our-team-and-community-of-resellers">What are you most looking forward to in working with our team and community of resellers?</h2>



I’m eager to get to know the industry better &#8211; it&#8217;s entirely new to me! I look forward to understanding our resellers&#8217; needs and bringing them the value they deserve.



<h2 id="h-how-do-you-balance-the-demands-of-a-leadership-role-with-personal-time-or-hobbies">How do you balance the demands of a leadership role with personal time or hobbies?</h2>



Ah, great question. I haven’t quite found that balance yet, but I know it’s important! This is something I need to work on, and I encourage my team to prioritize their own balance as well.



<h2 id="h-can-you-share-a-book-or-podcast-that-has-significantly-influenced-your-professional-or-personal-philosophy">Can you share a book or podcast that has significantly influenced your professional or personal philosophy?</h2>



One book that really stands out is The Sales Acceleration Formula by Mark Roberge, the ex-CRO of HubSpot. For podcasts, I’m a big fan of The Diary of a CEO by Steven Bartlett. I appreciate the questions he asks, the tone he sets, and the quality of guests he invites.



<h2 id="h-what-advice-would-you-give-to-someone-aspiring-to-a-position-like-yours-based-on-your-own-experiences">What advice would you give to someone aspiring to a position like yours based on your own experiences?</h2>



Whatever your role in a company, get a mentor. Find someone more experienced and successful who has dealt with the challenges you’re facing. It doesn’t necessarily need to be someone in your role, but they should have insights you can learn from. Also, always push yourself out of your comfort zone. Try new things, keep a journal, take note of what works and what doesn’t, and be ready to iterate. Persistence is key, but so is the ability to adjust as you go.



&#8211;



Laetitia’s passion and energy are infectious, and her drive to build something impactful at Openprovider is evident. We’re excited to see how her experience and vision shape the future of our sales team and strengthen our community of resellers. Welcome aboard, Laetitia!



Laetitia is happy to connect with our customers and industry partners on LinkedIn. You can find her profile <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/laetitiaribier?miniProfileUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_miniProfile%3AACoAAA3kruEBZymTXBTkGVQigbELJ2z3tLi6sxg&amp;lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_search_srp_all%3Bur5ofRQUSWCB1yMPfyjwEg%3D%3D" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.

The domain landscape continues to evolve and, as it celebrates its 20th anniversary, Openprovider, is ready to lead this exciting new era for the industry. We sat down with Eline Verhek, Openprovider’s new Chief Operating Officer to talk about her background and how she views the future of Openprovider.&nbsp;



<h2 id="h-can-you-tell-us-a-bit-about-yourself">Can you tell us a bit about yourself?</h2>



I am originally from the Netherlands and am back living in Rotterdam after 20 years of living and working in Paramaribo, Suriname. My time in Suriname was an intensive and educational journey that I look back on with great pleasure and a warm heart, a period during which I adapted to a complex society and very multicultural environment.



In terms of my professional background, I spent approximately a decade in HRM functions and, during the past 20 years, I have worked in management operations (COO) functions with final responsibility for organizations on a local level.&nbsp; In previous roles, I was involved in Corporate Social Responsibility projects, something which is a real passion of mine. We were able to celebrate things such as Museum Night, Pride Month, and anti-plastic use initiatives. We also assisted young people in developing their digital skills, helping to set up the <a href="https://villazapakara.com/zaplab/">ZapLab</a> and the introduction of the national typing competition. In addition to my work, I have been active in board roles for the ICT Association, Children&#8217;s Museum, and I am still an active board member for a platform that supports Surinamese students in their study success in Suriname or the Netherlands.&nbsp;



My passion is to work on a consistent, high-quality service in which employees gain ownership, and where they can develop themselves further professionally and personally. I am proud to have been able to contribute to the transformation and modernization of businesses while also overseeing development in the areas of work happiness, employee development, and sustainable business practices in line with the <a href="https://sdgs.un.org/goals">United Nations&#8217; Sustainable Development Goals.</a>



<h2>Your Openprovider story began several years ago &#8211; can you tell us about your previous experience with Openprovider and also about the new role you have just taken up?</h2>



From 2005 to 2010 I worked as Managing Director for Hosting Concepts in Suriname.



The mission that we set out and accomplished was to open an office for the support team in Paramaribo and to develop the internal organization to a more professional level. Openprovider was one of Hosting Concepts’ brands.&nbsp;



My role now within Openprovider is Integrator as part of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) framework. I am responsible for leadership, management, and accountability, removing barriers, developing the business plan, and special projects like CSR.



<h2>What kind of changes have you seen in Openprovider since you last worked with the company?&nbsp;</h2>



A lot! I’ve seen a lot of good changes. There is a strong international culture of working together and a system of work based on EOS with a structure to achieve goals. The growth in recent years means that everything operates in a much larger context with more clients, registrars, and collaborating partners. And, of course, with fully remote operations there are more than 100 team members working from home across more than 20 countries. The team is able to do so while maintaining a good atmosphere. This is a great, modern environment to be working in.&nbsp;



<h2>What excites you about being back at Openprovider?</h2>



I really appreciate being given the opportunity to contribute to the development of Openprovider and Procys, to help these organizations reach the next phase of further professionalization. I know where the organization has come from, and from my own experience, I understand the intention and mindset behind the years of development. Openprovider reaching 20 years is special &#8211; it has required a lot of courage, trust, perseverance, and quality across the entire organization to be able to get where it is today.&nbsp;



<h2>What people have had an impact on you as a person and professional?&nbsp;</h2>



I would say Gea Peper of the <a href="https://www.happinessbureau.nl/">HappinessBureau</a>. In 2018 she introduced and supported me on how to implement happiness at work in my previous company. The results were there for all to see: Alembo was MVO (26000) certified during the last four years and during the last two years it was the first company in Suriname to be recognized as a <a href="https://www.greatplacetowork.com/">Great Place To Work (GPTW)</a>.



<h2>Can you tell us about a proud moment in your career?&nbsp;</h2>



Two moments immediately spring to mind:



1. The transcribing of one million (!) forms by 275 team members (10,000 hours) with a quality of 99% in the space of four weeks in addition to maintaining existing busy operations. It was a super big challenge due to the sheer volume of forms involved. The moment the last form was processed when the team member clicked ‘ENTER’ &#8211; that was a party moment. Such a relief &#8211; we did it!!



2. Being allowed to receive the Matie Award by Pride Suriname on behalf of Alembo in October 2023. The company had supported the LGBTQ community for years in a very active, visible, and fun way both internally and during Pride Month.



<h2>What things do you like to do to disconnect from work?</h2>



I like to be outdoors (diving, traveling, giving swimming lessons to young children), and being involved in social activities and projects.&nbsp;



<h2>What advice would you give to someone aspiring to a tech leadership position based on your own experiences?</h2>



I think that all professionals, whether in an expert or management role, should develop leadership and entrepreneurship skills so that they can take ownership and continue to grow. It&#8217;s also important to provide your people with the support and resources needed to develop their knowledge, to create a culture and mindset based on professionalism.



I believe that it’s important to gain good insight into your talents so that you can develop yourself from your authenticity. You will then work from your strength and it will continue to give you energy. People should dare to approach situations &#8211; no matter how new, no matter how complex &#8211; with the mindset that you may (must) make mistakes to learn from.&nbsp;



In Dutch there is a saying: “without friction no shine!”&nbsp;



Let’s shine!&nbsp;

In response to the growing number and complexity of cyber threats, the European Union is implementing new regulations to strengthen the security of essential digital assets. The <a href="https://digital-strategy.ec.europa.eu/en/policies/nis2-directive" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NIS2 Directive</a>, announced in late 2023, aims to safeguard critical infrastructure by establishing new standards for organizations across the EU &#8211; including domain registrars, domain resellers, and DNS providers. Among its many requirements, the directive mandates accurate domain holder data and ensures the functionality of email addresses and phone numbers.



In this article, we break down what the NIS2 Directive means for domain owners and resellers in the European Union, and what changes you can expect starting in October 2024.



<h2 id="h-what-is-the-nis2-directive">What is the NIS2 Directive?</h2>



The NIS2 Directive (Network and Information Security Directive) is part of the EU&#8217;s initiative to strengthen cybersecurity and protect critical infrastructure across critical sectors. An expansion of the original NIS Directive, the NIS2 Directive broadens its scope to include more industries and organizations that provide essential services, including domain registrars and DNS providers. Other industries that are affected by NIS2 range from energy and transport to healthcare and banking.



With regards to the domain industry, a key element of NIS2 relates to the maintenance of accurate <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/domain-registration" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">domain registration</a> data, ensuring that registrants&#8217; contact information—such as email addresses and phone numbers—is verified and up-to-date. This step helps mitigate cybersecurity risks by making it easier to contact domain owners if issues arise, reducing the risk of unauthorized access, and preventing misuse of domains.



NIS2 also aims to promote more effective cross-border cooperation in Europe, enabling faster and more coordinated responses to cyber threats. By implementing these standards, the EU hopes to create a safer digital environment, ensuring that businesses, governments, and individuals are better protected against growing cyber threats.



<h2 id="h-how-does-the-nis2-directive-affect-domain-resellers-and-owners">How does the NIS2 Directive affect domain resellers and owners?</h2>



The NIS2 Directive comes with several changes that will affect the way that resellers and owners register and manage domains. In this blog post, we break them down by category.



If your domain reselling business is running on an API, changes in domain registration and owner verification processes may break your existing code. It is vital to make sure that any code-breaking changes are applied well in advance and that you inform your customers about these updates to minimize the support load on your teams. We recommend you also review your legal terms and include clauses that ensure that the registration data linked to a domain name submitted is always accurate, complete, and up-to-date.



Below, you can find an overview of the different changes related to the NIS2 Directive..&nbsp;



<h3 id="h-domain-owner-email-verification">Domain owner email verification</h3>



Starting October 14, 2024, we will enforce email verification at Openprovider for specific TLDs affected by the NIS2 Directive. This will apply during new domain registrations, incoming transfers, and contact updates (including domain ownership changes).



The following TLDs will require email verification:



<ul>
<li>Austria: <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/at" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.at</a>, .co.at, .or.at.</li>



<li>Denmark: <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/dk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.dk</a>.</li>



<li>Finland: <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/fi" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.fi</a>.</li>



<li>France &amp; Overseas Territories: <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/fr" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.fr</a>, .pm, .re, .tf, .wf, .yt.</li>



<li>Germany: <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/de" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.de</a>.</li>



<li>Italy: <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/it" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.it</a> and all corresponding 3rd level domains.</li>



<li>The Netherlands: <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/nl">.</a><a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/nl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">nl</a>, <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/amsterdam" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.amsterdam</a>.</li>



<li>Poland: <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/pl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.pl</a> and all corresponding 3rd-level domains.</li>
</ul>



Starting October 14th, domain owners whose emails are not yet verified at Openprovider will receive an email to verify their email address by clicking a link. This verification is required only once per email. If the domain owner fails to verify within 14 calendar days, any domain(s) linked to that email will be suspended.



This process aligns with existing <a href="https://www.icann.org" class="broken_link">ICANN</a> policy, so as a domain owner, you are likely familiar with this from gTLDs and from <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/se" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.se</a> and <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/nu" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.nu</a> domain registrations at Openprovider. The emails are <a href="https://www.openprovider.com/blog/reseller-business-news/how-to-easily-send-white-labeled-email-updates">white-labeled</a> with your brand. Detailed information can be found in <a href="https://support.openprovider.eu/hc/en-us/articles/216649108-Registrant-email-verification-ICANN-contact-validation?utm_campaign=Closed%20loop&amp;utm_source=hs_email&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz--4ihEdHkBtaY7y-0_kvWyb05jEGOforfXCPwS5Cvhrpboy7Flr8Lnq9zNHfJ1G-CmhV7fA" class="broken_link">this Knowledge Base article</a>.



Email verification will still be required for domains already registered before October 14th, but no suspensions will occur before January 15, 2025, to avoid disruptions. After this date, however, any domains with unverified email addresses will be suspended.



<h3 id="h-tld-specific-changes-by-the-registries">TLD-specific changes by the registries</h3>



<h4 id="h-be-dns-belgium">.be (DNS Belgium)</h4>



<a href="https://www.dnsbelgium.be">DNS Belgium</a> will start applying the below new validation rules for contact handles when registering, updating, or modifying the domain owner with either a new or existing contact handle:



<ul>
<li>Name, organization, street, and city: Each must contain at least one alphanumeric character.</li>



<li>Street and city: May not be identical.</li>



<li>Postal code: Must follow the correct syntax for the registrant&#8217;s country code. For countries without postal codes, use &#8216;0000&#8217; or &#8216;00000&#8217;.</li>



<li>Phone number: The phone prefix must be of the correct length.</li>



<li>VAT: Mandatory for organizations. &#8216;PENDING&#8217; can be used if applicable. If entered, VAT must follow the correct syntax for the registrant&#8217;s country code.</li>



<li>Text format: The exact regular expressions have been provided by DNS Belgium. You can find them in these <a href="https://static.dnsbelgium.be/docs/be-regular-expressions.csv?utm_campaign=Closed%20loop&amp;utm_source=hs_email&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_2pQ5UuyuKxQO0-TjbiSEnNnzRYWgPjqFXV2Yi5mbT0hl4Io0fGEPuzDQD9A8bUOeR8nVU">CSV</a> or <a href="https://static.dnsbelgium.be/docs/be-regular-expressions.json?utm_campaign=Closed%20loop&amp;utm_source=hs_email&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_2pQ5UuyuKxQO0-TjbiSEnNnzRYWgPjqFXV2Yi5mbT0hl4Io0fGEPuzDQD9A8bUOeR8nVU">json</a> files.</li>
</ul>



If the information on the contact handle does not pass these validation criteria, the operation will not succeed, resulting in an error.



This change was originally set to go live on October 14th but has since been postponed by the registry. We will keep you updated about when these changes will go live.



<h4 id="h-eu-ею-ευ-eurid">.eu, .ею, .ευ (EURid)</h4>



<a href="https://eurid.eu/en/">EURid</a>, the registry for <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/eu" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.eu</a> and its IDN variants, has already introduced an owner verification process directly between them and the domain holder. As a reseller, you need to ensure from your side that:



<ul>
<li>The registrant for whom you register a .eu or its IDN variant domain name has accepted the rules and regulations set forth by EURid.</li>



<li>The registrant confirms that the domain name is registered in good faith and does not infringe the rights of any third party.</li>



<li>The registrant meets the eligibility requirements set out in the EURid rules.</li>
</ul>



After registration, the registrant will receive an email directly from no-reply@eurid.eu, indicating that EURid has initiated the verification of their domain. The registry will send multiple reminders to the registrant to complete the verification process. If the verification is not completed within the specified deadline, the domain name will be suspended.



To complete the verification, the registrant needs to log in to their panel <a href="https://my.eurid.eu/">here</a> and follow the instructions provided by EURid to complete the verification.



<h4 id="h-de-denic">.de (DENIC)</h4>



<a href="https://www.denic.de/en/">DENIC</a>, the registry of .de domains, has announced that the phone number will be a mandatory field while registering a .de domain. This has always been mandatory with all contact handles at Openprovider, so for domain owners at Openprovider, this will not change.



DENIC will check for a phone number during Create, Update, Trade, and Transfer processes. More technical changes will follow here as the registry is working on the same.



<h3 id="h-changes-in-whois-privacy-protection-for-specific-tlds">Changes in Whois Privacy Protection for specific TLDs</h3>



This change applies to .barcelona, <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/cat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.cat</a>, <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/eus" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.eus</a>, <a href="http://openprovider.com/domains/tlds/gal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">.gal</a>, .madrid, .radio, .scot, .sport, .swiss, .xn--80asehdb (.онлайн), .xn--80aswg (.сайт), and .xn--mgbab2b (باار.)



As of October 1st, 2024, you are no longer able to add Whois Privacy Protection to new registrations of the aforementioned TLDs. It’s also no longer possible to renew your existing Whois Privacy Protection services for the aforementioned TLDs. Your active Whois Privacy Protection services for these domains will remain active until their expiration date.



For the registry and for other people and organizations, having the true registrant&#8217;s details in the register is an important step toward preventing abuse and verifying their identity.



With this change in policy, please make sure that the contact information associated with your domain(s) is accurate and up-to-date. We recommend you take a look at your contact information and update it if needed.



<h2 id="h-future-changes-and-compliance-with-the-nis2-directive">Future changes and compliance with the NIS2 Directive</h2>



Please note that this is just the first step in our efforts as a registrar to comply with the NIS2 Directive. Many countries and registries are still in the consultation phase regarding TLD-specific changes related to the verification of domain registrant data.



As a result, you can expect additional updates for each affected TLD in the future, as they become available to us. Rest assured, the Openprovider team will communicate these changes to you in advance, allowing you to adapt your systems accordingly and avoid any unnecessary delays.



If you have any questions about this, please contact our <a href="http://openprovider.com/company/contact-us" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">support team</a>.
