Escher Group has been formally elected to join the .post group at the Universal Postal Union (UPU). .post is the UPU’s sponsored top-level domain for the postal sector. .post intends to link the physical and digital worlds, creating a secure platform that enables postal e-services to be delivered to all citizens and businesses.

The members of the .post group at the UPU invited Escher to participate in the development of this sponsored top level domain (sTLD) in recognition of the significant position Escher holds within the postal technology community.
