.se is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for Sweden (Sverige). The top domain is operated by .SE (The Internet Infrastructure Foundation), but domains must be registered through one of the approved registrars. .SE is a foundation and is managed on the basis of its charter of foundation and its statutes. The Foundation is managed by a Board of Directors, whose decisions are executed by the executive management. In 2006, a new Chairman of the Board, Rune Brandinger, and a new CEO, Danny Aerts, took office.
Pre 2003 system
Prior to April 2003, the rules governing domains under the .se top domain were highly restrictive. Only companies, associations and authorities registered nation-wide were allowed to register a domain, and it had to be very similar to the registered name. Individual products were not eligible for separate domain names, even if they were registered trademarks (several companies formed daughter companies named after products to circumvent this rule and protect the trademark). Individuals could register one (and only one) domain with the suffix .pp.se (pp is an abbreviation for "privatperson", "private person"), and companies and organizations registered in just a single county were eligible for domains with a <county letter>.se suffix.[1]
The former Second Level Domains were:[citation needed]

Since å,ä,ö were not available for technical reasons, organisations could register the name with a and o instead if available. The Habo and Håbo municipalities had a legal battle about the name habo.se which Håbo won since they registered first. As of March 2011, the site's mainpage instead links to both municipalities websites.
Post 2003 system
With the new rules, any entity or person may register any number of domains, subject to few restrictions. You may register whatever .se domain you want, as long as it is free, not in .SE's Blocked or Reserved list[1]. At the same time, the rules for domain name allocation were changed to the principle of “first-come, first-serve”, and simpler rules for dispute resolution [2] were created.
As of October 2003, .SE started accepting registrations of internationalized domain names, containing the letters å, ä, ö, ü and é. On 6 September 2007, a total of 250 characters became available, supporting names in all of the legally recognized minority languages of Sweden: Finnish, Meänkieli (Tornedalsfinska), Sami, Romany and Yiddish.
.se is the first TLD to offer DNSSEC services. It does so using OpenDNSSEC.
The entire .se domain was unavailable for 58 minutes on 12 October 2009, when an error during routine maintenance by .SE corrupted all names in the domain name registry.[2]
