Dear IRT,

Welcome to the last phase of our implementation. On 21 August 2024, we begin the 12-month transition period we’ve been preparing for the 6 months.

I am happy to share that ICANN org has released the update to the Registry System Testing (RST1.0) to support the new requirements of the Registration Data Policy published on 21 February 2024 as planned. The update to RST includes new documentation related to EPP testing, and an update to The RST1.0 code to reflect the related changes.

The Registry Operators and Registry Backend Service Providers have been notified on 21 August 2024 of this to support their transition.

This completes another implementation task and I’ll continue to inform the IRT of our progress.

Thank you for your continued support. 363 days to go.

Kind Regards,

Dennis S. Chang
