Not quite....
In all cases, an examination of the Legal Type and Organization Names will
tell you what the problem is. Where CIRA has told us what the problem is,
I've included that info. Where people are unclear, I've responded to queries
and explained how you might figure it out (it's not hard.)
Essentially, the 'long winded' bit explains the data formatting rules for
Registrant Name that correspond with the legal type chosen.
The WE who don't have any more information is Tucows, not CIRA.
Once you have made the chage to the legal type, be assured that it is
complete. To test it, simply log in to manage again...anything you see is
what we've pulled, real time, directly from CIRA.
Thanks, and apologies to all who received such a letter from me; it pained
me to have to send it out.
Thanks,
Ken
