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

Re: [gtld-tech] CZDS Support for Request Cancellation

I think my question has a broader audience, so I am asking it here instead: What effect does cancelling a long neglected "pending" request have on outstanding complaints? Are they also automatically closed? The reason I ask, is that after closing long neglected requests I am opening fresh requests in the hope that they might get approved this time around. If they don't get processed in a fairly generous time frame (say 4 weeks), I'd like to file a fresh complaint, and would like it to not register as a duplicate... [ I've cancelled and reopened ZFA requests for "citadel" and "xn--kput3i", it'll be interesting to see whether this helps to unwedge the process. ] -- Viktor.

CZDS timeouts / 503 issues?
by John McCormac April 24, 2022

April 24, 2022

Is anyone else seeing an increasing number of timeouts waiting for responses, timesouts waiting for authentication, 503s on the CZDS while downloading? It has been happening for a while now with some days having no issues but others, such as today, having a lot. Have also noticed a bit of sluggishness in the CZDS while updating or checking requests (this was via a different connection).

No resolution from the TLD operator and no followup action from ICANN, not even to report that the second complaint is a duplicate. It looks like whoever is handling the complaints is a long-term leave or overwhelmed... -- Viktor.
