‘What makes a ccTLD attractive
for a registrar’
IT & Processes Considerations

Our Considerations
1. Registry / Registrar Business Model and Accreditation
2. Policies and Workflows
3. IT
 If everything looks fare enough, we are probably doing it.

Registry / Registrar Business
Model and Accreditation
- Do you support this Business Model?
- Is it even possible to be accredited as a foreign company?
- Is your contract available in English, at least as a reference?
- Is your contract fair or one-sided? (Indemnification, Liability, Severability, …)

Policies and Workflows
- Is your domain life cycle more like a gTLD?
- Do we need paper?
- Are there any special obligations for registrants / registrars?
- How are we invoiced and how do we pay?
- Is it possible to set up different email recipients to support workflows?

IT
- Do you support EPP / real-time API?
- Are all necessary processes available in EPP / real-time API?
- Are there any technical restrictions? (Whois, Domain Availability, …)
- Are there any special EPP Extensions?
- Are there 2 OT&E accounts available?
- Do we get a documentation? (Commands, Extensions, Error Codes, Polls, …)
