ICANN RDE Program Implementation

As you might already be aware, starting June 1st 2008, you will be required to deposit all your domain data keeping in line with ICANN’s RDE Program. As part of our Services, we will be incorporating an automated mechanism to allow for these deposits to be made as per the schedule defined by ICANN for your Registrar.

We have already begun the integration process from our side and need certain feedback from all Registrars on board our Platform, so that specific requirements may be incorporated to ensure complete compliance with ICANN’s policy.

  • We need to know if you are a Registrar for any of the TLDs that we do not support e.g. .aero, .asia, .cat, .jobs, .museum. .pro, .tel, .travel etc. and if these are being provisioned by you either directly at the Registry or through another system

  • For the TLDs that we support i.e. .com, .net, .info, .org, .biz, .name, .coop, .mobi, we need to know if you are provisioning these domains through any system other than ours

Since this is a very time sensitive project, we would need your earliest response to the questions here. As per the slated guidelines, we intend to make a consolidated domain data deposit to the Escrow Agent per Registrar. We thus need to be aware of whether you handle any domain registrations outside the LogicBoxes System, thereby allowing us to accommodate for such an arrangement and work out a feasible option for you.

We would appreciate your immediate response to this email. Please contact your LogicBoxes Account Manager to discuss this further or write in to [email protected].
