Hi All, Thought I'd check in with some thoughts from our Service Bureau on processing .it orders: All .it registrations and transfers require signed documentation. The registration/transfer process does not actually begin until we receive the documentation. Upon receipt, it is forwarded to the registry the same day.
It typically takes two business days for the registry to confirm receipt of the documentation, at which time we follow up with online confirmation at our end. It then typically takes another two business days for the registry to complete the registration (transfers are typically completed immediately upon our confirmation). More often than not, the registry rejects the documentation the first time, usually because a box isn't checked, or they claim it is "illegible", or they might say there is a "problem with [the] fax transmission". When possible, we make the correction ourselves without going back to the end user, but each time documentation is rejected, it results in another two business days is added to the total turnaround time. Recently, the registry underwent a systems transfer which caused a massive backlog at their end. For a while, turnaround time was up to a week rather than the usual two days. Things have since returned to normal. One possible way to reduce turnaround time for .it is to obtain the required documentation from the RRC and fax a completed document at the same time as submitting an order in our system. Also, faxing the document directly to the registry might save a day, but please ensure that you also send a copy to us...we cannot complete a request without it. Hope this clears things up. If you have any additional concerns regarding .it registrations, please feel free to contact me off list. --adam On 3-Apr-07, at 5:56 AM, Nick Wilsdon wrote: > Hi Graham, > >>> Does anyone have any idea as to where the blockage is Tucows or the >>> italian nic. > > In our experience it's better to submit the order with Tucows and then > handle documentation direct with the Italians (by phone/email). > That takes > it down to a day processing time. > >> since the 19th of March > > If you think that is bad, we have one woman waiting over 5 weeks > now to > successfully change her com.mx name servers.
