Hello, Please note that a release was just completed in the Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS) system with some new functionality. Active CZDS users and Registry Operators should be receiving the notification from ICANN directly too, however I thought I’d share here as well for anyone interested. Zone file access requesters already authorized to access a top-level domain (TLD) zone file in the CZDS system will now have the option to submit an access extension request up to 30 days prior to the expiration date of their currently approved access. To request an access extension though the CZDS portal, go to the TLD zone access request details page. If the expiration date is within 30 days or less, the option to request an extension will be displayed next to the expiration date. Click the “Request Extension” button and confirm the action in order to submit the extension request to the registry operator. Please note that an extension request still requires approval by the TLD registry operator to extend the expiration date. If the extension request is not approved prior to the access expiration date, the access request will expire normally. If you have any questions, please contact globalsupport@icann.org.
