Today we have released new functionality in the Centralized Zone Data Service (CZDS) system that allows zone file access requesters to cancel a previously submitted access request that is still in pending status.
Thanks! This is very much appreciated.
Canceled access requests will no longer require any action from the requester or the registry operator and will have no effect on future access requests.
If you have any questions, please contact globalsupport@icann.org.
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.
