It addresses an issue where changing the proxy/admin role on a domain name it would fail
This major release primarily introduces support for registrar/registrant management model. The article "New basis for collaboration between registrars and Punktum dk" outlines the overall concept.
Secondarily the release introduces a new process for changing name servers for a domain name registered with the Punktum dk registry.
More specific details are listed below.
-
New feature to generate an authorization code to authorize a change of registrar, meaning that the registrant and domain name and potential nameservers are transferred to the registrar provided with the authorization information, see the SB service specification
-
New feature to generate an authorization code to authorize a change of name servers, meaning that the registrant, proxy and existing name server administrators can authorize a change of name servers, to be completed by another name server administrator via use of the authorization, see the SB service specification
-
New feature to change the choice of administrative model from registrar managed to registrant managed
-
Support for removal of DSRECORD ownership, providing a more flexible and transparent model for enabling and disabling DNSSEC and handling DSRECORDs
-
Removal of the DNSSEC switch to enable and disable DNSSEC. This is now handled implicitly by the precence of DSRECORDs, see above
-
Manual renewal is introduced as a feature, it can be used to extend the period of the domain name manually with an interval of 1 year from 1 to 10 years
-
For automatic renewal the period can also be extended with the same values as for manual renewal, so the period for a given domain name can be set with a period of 1 to 10 years
-
The release also introduces automatic payment via credit card, which supplements the existing automatic payment option of BetalingsService (BS)
-
The process for changing period for a domain name as billing contact, no longer requires the acknowledgement of the proxy or registrant
-
The ID-control requirement has been cemented in more business procesess, so for a domain name where the registrant has not met ID-control requirements, it is not possible to:
- Change registrar
- Change billing
- Change admin/proxy
- Restore domain
- Change registrant (owner change)
