NIC Interfaces

• Adjustements for CORE02 API – changes for the ICANN owner verification process
  • The new parameter registrant.verification.override will be set within domain create, domain modify and contact modify requests. This will indicate that the applicant is aware of the WAP service implementation. To verify the owner email address the Core API sends an email to the not-yet verified domain owner address. If the owner does not verify the email address within 15 days, the domain will be put into the on-hold status and can’t be accessed any more.
  • The new parameter registrant.verification.ignore will be set with incoming domain transfer requests. This is required to allow transfers of domains with owner email adresses, that are not-yet verified.
  • New polling messages will be forwarded to the DomiNIC operator:
    
    • registrant.verification.reminder: this reminds the owner that his email address is still not verified and that the domain status will soon change to the on-hold status
      
    • domain.status.change: this indicates a domain has changed to status on-hold and can’t be accessed any more
• Adjustments for SIDN API: Minor changes to the domain info command
