Good afternoon,
I'd like to remind you that the domains auction system is going to be
launched on Wednesday 01.05.2024 shortly after midnight.
After the domain is cancelled or terminated, it will no longer be
available for free registration and instead will be put on the list of
domains for auction. The first auctions will start on 16.05. All in
compliance with the new Rules of Domain Names Registration, Rules for
Auctions and Rules of Operation for Auctions. You can find the documents
here https://www.nic.cz/page/314/rules-and-policies/
We'll have to restart the system on 1 May 0:00 - 0:30, meaning the
following services could be unavailable for a few moments: WEBWHOIS,
RDAP, Domain browser, MojeID (profile and login) and Verification portal.
Kind regards

Greetings,
following the domain auction system, we've updated the XML query for
"check domain" operation in the new FRED version. Now the domain (or
domains) and its availability can be checked in regards of a specific
contact. By this it's possible to verify whether the contact is the
winner of the auction of the requested domain name. The element
"reason", in the XML response, is to differentiate responses in case of
failure.
The rest of EPP communication schemes stays the same.
This version is already available in the public test environment. Since
it's only an extension of current schemes, we will deploy it to the
production next week.
We've also added the extension of validation schemes "auction-*.xsd"
into the XML schemes related of this release. New schemes version can be
here: https://www.nic.cz/page/744/registracni-system/ in the section
"SOFTWARE FOR TESTING". You can also find the new EPP client version
here ("New interactive console client 3.0.1").
ATTENTION - the older EPP client fred-client is no longer supported in
the new FRED version (last version is 2.15.3) and it does not contain
the domain auction feature
We would also like to ask you to consider creating your own landing
page, as the URL will be on the list of registrars in the last e-mail to
the auction winner for an easy registration. A simple pdf document with
instruction how to register the auctioned domain with you would also be
appreciated - we'd love to put it on the list.
You can find an example of XML query (and its response) for "check
domain" and with specification "extension:check:registrant" in
attachment. There are 5 domains in the example below. Domains with
active auction and a few with winner are available in the test
environment. The list of these domains are in the attachment
(domain-in-auction.txt and domain-winner.txt).
1. fdsglkjh.cz = an example of available domain
Response:
<domain:cd>
<domain:name avail="1">fdsglkjh.cz</domain:name>
</domain:cd>
2. nic.cz = an example of registered domain
Response:
<domain:cd>
<domain:name avail="0">nic.cz</domain:name>
<domain:reason>Registered already</domain:reason>
</domain:cd>
3. moxstart-turris.cz = an example of domain in auction
Response:
<domain:cd>
<domain:name avail="0">moxstart-turris.cz</domain:name>
<domain:reason>Auction pending</domain:reason>
</domain:cd>
4. machrsnura-bird.cz = an example of domain with finished auction and
only the winner, contact id AUCTION-TEST-01, can register it
a) Query without specification (present behavior) will receive:
<domain:cd>
<domain:name avail="0">machrsnura-bird.cz</domain:name>
<domain:reason>Only the auction winner is authorized to
register this domain</domain:reason>
</domain:cd>
b) Query with the winner (AUCTION-TEST-01) in specification will receive:
<domain:cd>
<domain:name avail="1">machrsnura-bird.cz</domain:name>
</domain:cd>
5. cestovnisiticko-nic.cz = an example of domain with finished auction
and only the winner, contact id AUCTION-TEST-02, can register it
a) Query without specification (present behavior) will receive:
<domain:cd>
<domain:name avail="0">cestovnisiticko-nic.cz</domain:name>
<domain:reason>Only the auction winner is authorized to
register this domain</domain:reason>
</domain:cd>
b) Query with a different contact (AUCTION-TEST-01) who is not the
winner will receive:
<domain:cd>
<domain:name avail="0">cestovnisiticko-nic.cz</domain:name>
<domain:reason>Only the auction winner is authorized to
register this domain</domain:reason>
</domain:cd>
In case of any questions, please let me know.
Kind regards

Hello,
since some of you has asked for specifications about the new schemes, I
am sending more information:
There is still authinfo present in schemas for <create> command, but it
must be empty.
According to RFC9154
(https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9154.html#name-create-command),
create command
- MUST allow the passing of an empty authorization information value and
- MAY disallow the passing of a non-empty authorization information value
Authinfos are not strictly server-generated, you can still set your
authinfo if
it meets the basic requirements. This is why for <update>, there is
still authinfo,
and the server behaviour is as follows:
- empty authinfo invalidates all valid authinfos for given registrar
(new behaviour)
- non-empty authinfo sets "user-set authinfo" if it is at least 8
characters long
(new is the requirement of minimal length)
In case of more questions please let me know.
Kind regards

Good afternoon,
let me inform you that a new version of the system is currently running
in the public test environment, which includes the changes announced at
the fall seminar. The changes in the Authinfo system, specifically:
- we will stop processing /create / update/ commands with Authinfo
filled out (an error will be returned)
- Authinfo has to be at least 8 characters
- added "help" in mail in response to sendauthinfo
Please give attention and time to the change to avoid problems in
processing requests.
*We would like to put these changes into production the week of February
8th. Till then please make the necessary scheme change in your systems
to the version 2.4.6.*
You may do so now as the new schemes are compatible. Schemes are also
here https://www.nic.cz/files/fred/schemas-2.4.6.zip as well as in this
e-mail.
Kind regards
