Scott et al
The statement below is correct. The updated client code to include .info
will be an easy to implement CGI which allows for CC processing.
The bulk file format for .info sunrise submissions is as follows:
domain,username,password,trademark_name,trademark_number,trademark_date,trad
emark_country
where trademark_date is in yyyy-mm-dd format
To confirm - OSRS will only accept pre-registrations for Sunrise. Landrush
pre-registrations WILL NOT be accepted.
Another modified tool will come out around July 1, 2001 to accept pre-reg
for the landrush period which begins on July 26.
The bulk file format for .info landrush submissions will be as follows:
domain,username,password
Thanks
Rick

Can you clarify what you mean by UPDATED CLIENT CODE?
A quick and dirty CGI with hooks for CC processing that should be fairly
simple to implement? Is *thaaaat* what you mean?
