.TOP made inactive? (CZDS zone file access)
Just got an e-mail that ZFA for .TOP had been revoked as the gTLD had been made inactive. "Request revoked as TLD has been made inactive." Checked another stats site and it was showing 0 domain names in the zone which may indicate that it didn't get today's zone. Has .TOP gTTLD been made inactive or is this a problem on the CZDS or with the .TOP registry?

Speaking of restoring access, I just received a note about a request to renew acess for "xn--6qq986b3xl", which reads: receiver Dear applicant, comment Your application is reviewed, please visit http://en.520.wang/notice.html to meet the “Credentialing Requirements for CZDS applicant to access the xn--6qq986b3xl Zone Files”. Please be noted that if we do not get your email of the said credentialing requirements in 7 days, we will have to deny your access application via the CZDS. Once your credentialing requirements is considered completed, we will study carefully and then make the decision via the CZDS in 45 days. greetings Regards, Sender xn--6qq986b3xl Team Is this expected?

Same here. It seems Zodiac has taken over xn--6qq986b3xl (and xn--3bst00m) and they're applying their standard onboarding routines now.

I hope so. I now have two new pending requests with identical notices, plus the long overdue "xn--czr694b".

I have all three of those. I suspect they're disorganized and forgot xn--czr694b so I'd cancel the request and resubmit it. R's, John
Dear CZDS Users, The previously approved CZDS access requests for the .TOP zone file that were revoked as a result of this incident have been restored, and access was reinstated last Friday 09 January 2026. Please note that any new access requests for the .TOP zone file submitted between Wednesday 07 January and Friday 09 January 2026 remain unchanged and will follow the usual review process by the registry operator. Thank you for your patience.

Just got an e-mail that ZFA for .TOP had been revoked as the gTLD had been made inactive.
"Request revoked as TLD has been made inactive."
Checked another stats site and it was showing 0 domain names in the zone which may indicate that it didn't get today's zone.
Has .TOP gTTLD been made inactive or is this a problem on the CZDS or with the .TOP registry?

The gTLD is still active in the DNS but it seems that the message in the CZDS is that the TLD has been made inactive. Not sure if it is a problem with the CZDS. The request was on automatic renewal and that tick appears beside it.There were 2,743 ZFA-passwords for the gTLD in the January 2026 ZFA report on the CZDS.
