Hi Simon, According to Nominet, the major work begins Sunday AM localtime. Our own window will actually begin a little earlier than that in order to get the work we've done into OpenSRS. After that, we're at the mercy of Nominet regarding when they get back up. I've been on the phone with them about it and they still have no definite timeline, but are hoping for Sunday PM.
