.tciAsia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti.nsline.comView
Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. will adopt the CoCCA harmonized life cycle currently adopted by a dozen ccTLDs. The .tci life-cycle described bellow builds on the CoCCA technology and policy launched in November 2011 that sought to increase the accuracy of WHOIS data, minimize harm and increase consumer trust in TLDs. The life-cycle for the .tci TLD builds on the traditional gTLD life-cycle by adding direct Registrant-Registry interaction.

The proposed .tci life-cycle ensures key elements of the .tci TLD abuse prevention and mitigation framework are adhered to by delaying mapping of the Registrantʹs desired NS delegation information until the registrant has Activated a domain. All .tci registrations are provisional until Activated. Activation requires that the registrant confirm ( with CoCCA ) the accuracy of the contact information lodged by the registrar and reads agrees to the .tci Registrant Agreement (RA), AUP and Privacy RDDS Policy.

Activation takes place via automated processes that store the time : date and IP address of the Activation as part of the domains history.

Registrants will also be required to confirm (with CoCCA) the accuracy of the contact details and agreement with the .tci RA, AUP and Privacy RDDS Policy at a) the time of renewal, b) on transfer and c) on the anniversary of registration. The following Life-Cycle describes the CoCCA SRS EPP and WHOIS behavior at various stages in the Life-Cyle.

27.1.1 Contractual Considerations:

Under the .tci TLD policy all registrations are considered provisional by Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. until the Registrant accepts the .tci RA and confirms the accuracy of the contact details lodged by the Registrar.

27.1.2 Behavior:

Until such time as the domain is Activated it is parked on a Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. controlled website that displays the domains port 43 WHOIS information. The SRS ignores the registrar-submitted Name Server (ʺNSʺ) delegation information for all domains with a status of ʺPending Activationʺ and replaces them with the CoCCA parking servers.

27.1.3 Duration:

A provisional application may be Activated by the Registrant or Administrative Contact at any time during the first 28 days after the Registration request is lodged in the SRS. On the 29th day after registration if a domain has not already been deleted by the Registrar, Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. deems the application to have been withdrawn by the registrant and the Status is changed to ʺPending Purge ʺ Restore Not Possibleʺ.

WHOIS Status Display ( Domain Status: Excluded - Pending Purge). The Registrant and their Registrar are sent an email and EPP Polling message indicating the Status change.

On the 31st day after Registration, a domain that has not been Activated is purged from the SRS and instantly available for registration. Registrars are sent a polling message and email informing them that the domain application has been rejected and the domain has been deleted.

27.1.4 Commercial Considerations:

Funds are debited from the Registrars account instantly and refunded in full after 31 days if a domain is not activated and where Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. has deemed the application to register to have been withdrawn. Names that are not Activated are not delegated in accordance with the Registrants wishes and cannot be used for tasting.

27.2 Registered Activated
Once Activated the EPP Domain:info Status is automatically changed to ʺActive - Delegatedʺ and the WHOIS display to ʺActive - Delegatedʺ.

Unless ICANN objects, the WHOIS server (port 43 and 443) and EPP Domain:info query will also display the following values - after display of the values required in the EPP RFCʹs and in Specification 4 Section 1.4.

〉Activation Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z

〉Registration Grace Expiry Date: [Activation Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z]
Note : [Grace Period expires as soon as a name is activated]
〉Registration MIN Expiry Date: 2011-12-31

27.3 Registration Grace
A one (1) day Grace period applies to all registrations, Provisional (pending activation) registrations. If a name is Activated the Grace Period is instantly expired. This policy effectively mitigates the prospect of abuse of the .tci TLD or CoCCAʹs SRS for domain tasting, kiting or other similar activity, while allowing a registrar 24 hours to reverse a registration that included a typographical error or was found to be fraudulent without incurring a commercial penalty.

WHOIS Status Display

Unless ICANN objects, the WHOIS server (port 43 and 443) and EPP Domain:info query will also display the following values - after display of the values required in the EPP RFCʹs and in Specification 4 Section 1.4.

〉Activation Expiry Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z
〉Contact Confirmation Expiry Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z
〉Registration Grace Expiry Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z
〉Registration MIN Expiry Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z

27.3.1 Registration Grace | Behavior
Domains deleted during Grace do NOT go into redemption and are instantly available. Domains may NOT be transferred during GRACE. The Domain Status shown in a WHOIS and EPP query during grace is ʺclientTransferProhibitedʺ.

27.3.2 Registration Grace |Commercial Considerations
A full refund equal to 100% of the registration value is applied to a registrars account for domains that are not activated in the first 24 hours. If a domain is Activated in the first 24 hours then deleted it is considered to have been deleted during the ʺMINʺ period as Grace expires on Activation. See Section 28 bellow for explanation of ʺMINʺ.

27.4 MIN Period
The MIN period is a life-cycle element that is probably unique to the CoCCA SRS - and mostly commercial in nature. The MIN period for the .tci is 14 days, the MIN period starts when a name is registered.

Unless ICANN objects, the WHOIS server (port 43 and 443) and EPP Domain:info query will also display the following value - after display of the values required in the EPP RFCʹs and in Specification 4 Section 1.4.

〉Registration MIN Expiry Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z

27.4.1 Registration MIN | Behavior
Domains deleted by a registrar during the MIN period do NOT go into redemption. Domains may not be transferred during MIN. (the Domain Status shown in a WHOIS and EPP query is ʺclientTransferProhibitedʺ). An EPP polling message is sent when the MIN period expires.

27.4.2 Registration MIN | Commercial Considerations
Since the Grace period is only one day - and only for domains that are not activated, Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. will give registrars a partial refund (80% of the annual registration fee) for Activated names that are deleted in the first 14 days after registration.

27.5 Renewals
Under the .tci TLD RA registrants are required to confirm the accuracy of the contact details and accept the .tci TLD RA, AUP and Privacy Policy with the registry within 28 days of renewal or the domain is suspended until such time as the RA is accepted and contact details confirmed.

27.6 Expiry
The SRS supports ʺregistrar configurable auto renewʺ, registrars may custom configure the auto-renew behavior via CoCCAʹs GUI. Some registrars may wish to auto renew domains on expiry while others may not. If a registrar has configured auto renew the SRS, and they have available credit, the SRS will renew the domain for the period selected by the registrar ( up to the maximum allowable ) on the day it expires. If a name expires the following would apply.

Unless ICANN objects, the SRS will automatically update the domain record so that a query of the WHOIS server (port 43 and 443) or EPP Domain:info query will also display the following value - after display of the values required in the EPP RFCʹs and in Specification 4 Section 1.4.

〉Contact Confirmation Expiry Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z
〉Renewal Grace Expiry Date: 2011-12-31:T11:11:Z

27.6.1 Expiry Grace | Suspension
On Expiry a domain automatically enters a seven day Expiry Grace period in which the domain is Suspended by the SRS and parked on a Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. parking page.

An expired and suspended name is not locked and may be renewed without a restore fee in the first seven (7) days after expiration. Suspended domains may NOT be transferred.

27.6.2 Expiry | Pending Delete - Restorable (Redemption)

On the eighth day after expiration the SRS will change the domainʹs Status to ʺPending Delete Restorableʺ for a period of 28 days. Suspended and Pending Delete domains may NOT be transferred. At any point between after day seven (7) and before day 29 a registrar may Restore a domain via EPP (RFC-3915) after restoration a domain must be renewed.

The SRS will automatically update the domain record so that a query of the WHOIS or EPP will also display the following values.

〉Redemption Expiry Date: 2011-12-31
〉Purge Date: 2011-12-31

27.6.3 Expiry | Pending Purge (No longer Restorable)

On the 29th day after expiry the SRS will change the status of the domain to ʺPending - Purgeʺ and apply a registry lock. The WHOIS status and EPP Domain:info query would be displayed as Pending Purge. The domain would stay in this state for seven (7) days until purged from the SRS 35 days after Expiry. Once purged it is available - subject to any restrictions or polices in effect at the time.

27.1.1 Contractual Considerations:

Under the .nowruz TLD policy all registrations are considered provisional by Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. until the Registrant accepts the .nowruz RA and confirms the accuracy of the contact details lodged by the Registrar.

27.1.2 Behavior:

Until such time as the domain is Activated it is parked on a Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. controlled website that displays the domains port 43 WHOIS information. The SRS ignores the registrar-submitted Name Server (ʺNSʺ) delegation information for all domains with a status of ʺPending Activationʺ and replaces them with the CoCCA parking servers.

27.1.3 Duration:

A provisional application may be Activated by the Registrant or Administrative Contact at any time during the first 28 days after the Registration request is lodged in the SRS. On the 29th day after registration if a domain has not already been deleted by the Registrar, Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. deems the application to have been withdrawn by the registrant and the Status is changed to ʺPending Purge ʺ Restore Not Possibleʺ.

WHOIS Status Display ( Domain Status: Excluded - Pending Purge). The Registrant and their Registrar are sent an email and EPP Polling message indicating the Status change.

On the 31st day after Registration, a domain that has not been Activated is purged from the SRS and instantly available for registration. Registrars are sent a polling message and email informing them that the domain application has been rejected and the domain has been deleted.

27.1.4 Commercial Considerations:

Funds are debited from the Registrars account instantly and refunded in full after 31 days if a domain is not activated and where Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. has deemed the application to register to have been withdrawn. Names that are not Activated are not delegated in accordance with the Registrants wishes and cannot be used for tasting.

27.2 Registered Activated
Once Activated the EPP Domain:info Status is automatically changed to ʺActive - Delegatedʺ and the WHOIS display to ʺActive - Delegatedʺ.

Unless ICANN objects, the WHOIS server (port 43 and 443) and EPP Domain:info query will also display the following values - after display of the values required in the EPP RFCʹs and in Specification 4 Section 1.4.

〉Registration Grace Expiry Date: [Activation Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z]
Note : [Grace Period expires as soon as a name is activated]
〉Registration MIN Expiry Date: 2011-12-31

27.3 Registration Grace
A one (1) day Grace period applies to all registrations, Provisional (pending activation) registrations. If a name is Activated the Grace Period is instantly expired. This policy effectively mitigates the prospect of abuse of the .nowruz TLD or CoCCAʹs SRS for domain tasting, kiting or other similar activity, while allowing a registrar 24 hours to reverse a registration that included a typographical error or was found to be fraudulent without incurring a commercial penalty.

WHOIS Status Display

Unless ICANN objects, the WHOIS server (port 43 and 443) and EPP Domain:info query will also display the following values - after display of the values required in the EPP RFCʹs and in Specification 4 Section 1.4.

〉Activation Expiry Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z
〉Contact Confirmation Expiry Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z
〉Registration Grace Expiry Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z
〉Registration MIN Expiry Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z

27.3.1 Registration Grace | Behavior
Domains deleted during Grace do NOT go into redemption and are instantly available. Domains may NOT be transferred during GRACE. The Domain Status shown in a WHOIS and EPP query during grace is ʺclientTransferProhibitedʺ.

27.3.2 Registration Grace |Commercial Considerations
A full refund equal to 100% of the registration value is applied to a registrars account for domains that are not activated in the first 24 hours. If a domain is Activated in the first 24 hours then deleted it is considered to have been deleted during the ʺMINʺ period as Grace expires on Activation. See Section 28 bellow for explanation of ʺMINʺ.

27.4 MIN Period
The MIN period is a life-cycle element that is probably unique to the CoCCA SRS - and mostly commercial in nature. The MIN period for the .nowruz is 14 days, the MIN period starts when a name is registered.

Unless ICANN objects, the WHOIS server (port 43 and 443) and EPP Domain:info query will also display the following value - after display of the values required in the EPP RFCʹs and in Specification 4 Section 1.4.

〉Registration MIN Expiry Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z

27.4.1 Registration MIN | Behavior
Domains deleted by a registrar during the MIN period do NOT go into redemption. Domains may not be transferred during MIN. (the Domain Status shown in a WHOIS and EPP query is ʺclientTransferProhibitedʺ). An EPP polling message is sent when the MIN period expires.

27.4.2 Registration MIN | Commercial Considerations
Since the Grace period is only one day - and only for domains that are not activated, Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. will give registrars a partial refund (80% of the annual registration fee) for Activated names that are deleted in the first 14 days after registration.

27.5 Renewals
Under the .nowruz TLD RA registrants are required to confirm the accuracy of the contact details and accept the .nowruz TLD RA, AUP and Privacy Policy with the registry within 28 days of renewal or the domain is suspended until such time as the RA is accepted and contact details confirmed.

27.6 Expiry
The SRS supports ʺregistrar configurable auto renewʺ, registrars may custom configure the auto-renew behavior via CoCCAʹs GUI. Some registrars may wish to auto renew domains on expiry while others may not. If a registrar has configured auto renew the SRS, and they have available credit, the SRS will renew the domain for the period selected by the registrar ( up to the maximum allowable ) on the day it expires. If a name expires the following would apply.

Unless ICANN objects, the SRS will automatically update the domain record so that a query of the WHOIS server (port 43 and 443) or EPP Domain:info query will also display the following value - after display of the values required in the EPP RFCʹs and in Specification 4 Section 1.4.

〉Contact Confirmation Expiry Date: 2011-12-31T11:11:11Z
〉Renewal Grace Expiry Date: 2011-12-31:T11:11:Z

27.6.1 Expiry Grace | Suspension
On Expiry a domain automatically enters a seven day Expiry Grace period in which the domain is Suspended by the SRS and parked on a Asia Green IT System Bilgisayar San. ve Tic. Ltd. Sti. parking page.

An expired and suspended name is not locked and may be renewed without a restore fee in the first seven (7) days after expiration. Suspended domains may NOT be transferred.

27.6.2 Expiry | Pending Delete - Restorable (Redemption)

On the eighth day after expiration the SRS will change the domainʹs Status to ʺPending Delete Restorableʺ for a period of 28 days. Suspended and Pending Delete domains may NOT be transferred. At any point between after day seven (7) and before day 29 a registrar may Restore a domain via EPP (RFC-3915) after restoration a domain must be renewed.

The SRS will automatically update the domain record so that a query of the WHOIS or EPP will also display the following values.

〉Redemption Expiry Date: 2011-12-31
〉Purge Date: 2011-12-31

27.6.3 Expiry | Pending Purge (No longer Restorable)

On the 29th day after expiry the SRS will change the status of the domain to ʺPending - Purgeʺ and apply a registry lock. The WHOIS status and EPP Domain:info query would be displayed as Pending Purge. The domain would stay in this state for seven (7) days until purged from the SRS 35 days after Expiry. Once purged it is available - subject to any restrictions or polices in effect at the time.
