Good Day All,
When a domain goes from SUSP to TBR it is no longer available for
registration by the old registrant. It will be opened for registration at
Noon that day. The old registrant *cannot* claw it back as it is known.
To register a TBR domain name the registrar needs to send a TBR request
during the TBR period which is Noon to 6PM each day. During that period
the regular whois will show the name as 'TBR' -- the winner won't be shown
until 6PM.
You need to contact your registrar for details. I know what we let
people queue domains up to 30 days before they go into TBR so there isn't
a need to rush at the last minute. You just enter them like any other
domain and we queue them up.
Your registrar also needs to do some other pre-queue work like ensuring
that the status of the registrant is good.
A lot of people tend to say that the system never works for them because
they never get any domain names. We here see quite a bit of interest and
competition for names; and there are 80 other registrars fighting for the
names.
If there is a specific question I'd be happy to answer.
Cheers,
Paul
