TMCH Test-SMDs expired...
by Alexander Mayrhofer Oct. 24, 2022

Oct. 24, 2022

Hello everyone, the test SMD-Files provided by the TMCH have expired yesterday (see below). Our unit testing infrastructure obviously fails on these tests currently, because it requires/assumes the SMD files to be valid. Are there updated test files available yet? If not, when will they be provided? best, Alex SMDs from http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/about/trademark-clearinghouse/smd-active-15jul… $ grep notAfter *.smd Court-Agent-Arabic-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Court-Agent-Chinese-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Court-Agent-English-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Court-Agent-French-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Court-Agent-Russian-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Court-Holder-Arabic-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Court-Holder-Chinese-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Court-Holder-English-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Court-Holder-French-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Court-Holder-Russian-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Trademark-Agent-Arabic-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Trademark-Agent-Chinese-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Trademark-Agent-English-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Trademark-Agent-French-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Trademark-Agent-Russian-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Trademark-Holder-Arabic-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Trademark-Holder-Chinese-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Trademark-Holder-English-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Trademark-Holder-French-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 Trademark-Holder-Russian-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 TreatyStatute-Agent-Arabic-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 TreatyStatute-Agent-Chinese-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 TreatyStatute-Agent-English-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 TreatyStatute-Agent-French-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 TreatyStatute-Agent-Russian-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 TreatyStatute-Holder-Arabic-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 TreatyStatute-Holder-Chinese-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 TreatyStatute-Holder-English-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 TreatyStatute-Holder-French-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00 TreatyStatute-Holder-Russian-Active.smd:notAfter: 2017-07-10 00:00:00

Beilong Zhongwang
by Joe Wein Oct. 20, 2022

Oct. 20, 2022

Has anyone else received an email in Chinese from an entity called Beilong Zhongwang in response to a recent CZDS application? I received one with a link to a Chinese language web page. According to a Google translate, they request information via e-mail over and above what I already supplied via the ICANN portal for all CZDS requests. In there they say they will take six months to process zone file requests and they will reject them unless the extra information is supplied by email. Google translate: ==== 3. Applicants need to send the following materials by email to wangzhi-czds(a)knet.cn: (1) Individual applicants need to provide materials: a. Personal identification materials b. Applicant's occupation (such as law enforcement officer, intellectual property lawyer, security researcher) and corresponding professional certificate; (2) Organization applicants need to provide materials: a. The organization needs to use the organization's domain name suffix to send emails; b. Organizational identity certification materials; c. The name and position of the authorized agent; d. The official website of the organization; e. Introduction to the main business and products of the organization; (3) Proof of the true use of the data must be provided; (4) A complete description of the measures taken by the applicant to prevent unauthorized access, use or disclosure of data to any third party; (5) The applicant is required to provide the following statement: "I, [full name of user], as the applicant, certify that the information in this application is accurate; the applicant will access and use the data only for lawful purposes and in compliance with applicable All legal and regulatory requirements of Longzhong.com; the applicant will take all reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access, use and disclosure of the data to any third party; the applicant will not access or use the data for any marketing activities; and the applicant will not Will access or use the data to send inquiries or data in bulk to Beilong, any registrar or any registrant's system. Individual applicants need to sign under the declaration document, and organization applicants need to affix the official seal under the declaration document or be signed by a person who can sign on behalf of the organization (a document proof that the signer can sign on behalf of the organization must be attached). 3. Audit After Beilong Zhongwang receives a new data application, it will review the submitted application according to the additional information provided in the email. Beilong Zhongwang will verify all the information provided by the user, including but not limited to contacting the applicant by telephone, email or WeChat. The review process for Beilong Zhongwang generally takes six (6) months. 4. Rejection and Revocation 1. Beilong Zhongwang will reject the applicant's request, including but not limited to the following situations: (1) any request that does not meet the requirements of Article 2; (2) lack of sufficient information to properly identify and locate applicants; (3) There is a lack of credible or sufficient detail about the applicant's intended use of the data to cause Beilong.com to believe that the applicant is likely to do any of the following: a. Access or use the data for unlawful or abusive purposes, or in violation of all applicable laws and regulations; b. Access, use, or allow the data to be accessed or used to harass, annoy, interrupt, disrupt or interfere with the normal business operations of any registrant (including Beilong Zhongwang); c. access, use, or allow the data to be used for any marketing purposes; d. Access or use the data in a way that threatens the stability and security of the Internet; e. Distribute data to any third party without the express prior written consent of Beilong.com; f. The data usage scenario is inconsistent with the purpose submitted at the time of application; g. Failure to take all reasonable steps to prevent unauthorized access, use or disclosure to any third party; or h. Use data in a manner that violates this Policy or the terms of the CZDS. 2. Beilong.com may revoke the applicant 's right to use the data at any time for reasons such as non-compliance with the CZDS terms or any of the above terms , without separate notice . ==== This seems unreasonable, both the excessively long wait period and the additional requirements presumably not covered by the ICANN agreement.

Purpose of this list?
by Michele Neylon - Blacknight Oct. 5, 2022

Oct. 5, 2022

All This list was originally for discussion of technologies related to gTLDs. But for the last few months it seems to have morphed into an extension of the ICANN helpdesk with a focus on zone files and pretty much nothing else. There are a bunch of technical issues that we should probably be discussing, like the sunsetting of whois, for example.. Or are people just going to continue using it to complain about CZDS issues?
