Speaking of restoring access, I just received a note about a request to renew acess for "xn--6qq986b3xl", which reads:
It's Zodiac registry, which did the same nonsense for xn--czru2d three years ago. You complained about it in this message thread:

I believe that ICANN finally told them to cut it out and they gave us all access.
I hope so. I now have two new pending requests with identical notices, plus the long overdue "xn--czr694b". Zone Pending since ---- ------------- xn--3bst00m 2026-01-04 xn--6qq986b3xl 2026-01-04 xn--czr694b 2024-11-14 We'll see what happens with the fresh renewals when I don't jump through hoops... If anyone from ICANN can twist their arm to move these along, that'd be great! -- Viktor. 🇺🇦 Слава Україні!
