Dear Customers

In response to registrar and .tel community feedback Telnic will be reducing the lockdown period that currently applies to domain names which are in a pending delete state where the redemption grace period (RGP) has expired. Currently, names in this state are subject to a 60 day non restorable lockdown before being made available for re-registration. This non restorable period will be reduced to 5 days as a result of this change.

Domains are dropped once per day starting at 18:30:00 UTC using a batch process. Following this change, domains will be dropped if they have been in RGP for a full 30 days and have been in non restorable lockdown for a further 5 days. The first batch release of domains pursuant to the shortened lockdown period rule will occur on April 14th. There is no change to the duration of the RGP for deleted names which remains 30 days.

Should you have any questions regarding this change, please contact the support team.
