Dear Sirs,
on Wednesday February 13, 2019 at 00:00 AM to 2:00 AM service works on
the registry infrasructure will be carried out.
For a short time, there may not be available information associated with
the registry in the Intranet - credit status, list of invoices and
expired domains of registrars.
Furthermore, some web presentations, the EPP system, web/unix WHOIS and
RDAP; displaying a list of registrars; establishing requests for
authinfo, blocking and unblocking; authentication by mojeID; mojeID
profile editor; interface for creating mojeID accounts and login into
the domain browser may not work as well.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
Thank you and kind regards

Dear Sirs,
on Tuesday January 8, 2018 at 00:00 AM to 2:00 AM the domain management
system will be shut down - at this time the system will be unavailable.
At that time there will not be available information associated with the
registry in the Intranet - credit status, list of invoices and expired
domains of registrars.
Furthermore, some web presentations, the EPP system, web/unix WHOIS and
RDAP; displaying a list of registrars; establishing requests for
authinfo, blocking and unblocking; mojeID profile editor; interface for
creating mojeID accounts and login into the domain browser will not work
as well.
Within the shutdown, we will:
- introduce the possibility of verifying the applicant of public request
using the data box
- unite the error responses for unsupported zones in the web WHOIS
- deploy several improvements and corrections for our customer support
workers
- separate the payment system from the Fred kernel (to improve
maintainability andadjustability)
- deploy a number of other internal technological changes
- operate the version with adjustable disclose flags (important for
foreign registries - adjustment of hiding and disclosing data)
All of these changes are already in the test environment
https://demo.regtest.nic.cz
and should not cause any negative operational impacts after being put
into production.
Who uses FRED client, please go to its new version after deployment -
https://github.com/CZ-NIC/fred-client/archive/2.11.0-rc4.tar.gz
We are correcting Greeting type messages in it.

Dear Sirs,
let me inform you about the changes for registrars effective from
January 1, 2019.
These changes are as follows:
* Change of pricelist - increase of the price for .cz domain from 125
CZK to *145 CZK per year*. The other pricelist items (such as
minimal annual deposit) remain at the current level.
There are a few reasons why we decided for the change. One reason is
that each year there is a lower and lower annual increase of new .cz
domains. Moreover,most of the inputs are rising, such as salaries and
investments into cybersecurity. There is a tendency to increase the
price of national domains in Europe with a positive impact.
* Formal change in the Business Terms and Conditions for Registrars -
in Article 4.3.1. it is replaced by the phrase "contractual penalty"
by"administrative fee". The reason is because of VAT, concerns
minimum of registrars.
* Termination of sending paper letters - the time has changed, many
letters are returned as undeliverable.
* The information about sending letters was mentioned in the document
The Rules of Technical Communication, which is also updated.
You can find all the updated documents in the attachment as well as on
our web page.
In case of any questions do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you and kind regards

Dear Sirs,
on May 15, 2018 at 9:00 PM to May 16, 2018 at 5:00 AM (the timing will
be in the zone CEST - Central European Summer Time) the planned
registration system shutdown will be carried out. We will deploy a new
updated version of the registry that includes changesto GDPR.
Due to the fact that the shutdown will be "over midnight",
allDeleteCandidate Domains for May 15, 2018 will be deleted at the start
of the shutdown.
At that time there will not be available information associated with the
registry in the Intranet - credit status, list of invoices and expired
domains of registrars. Furthermore, the EPP system, web/unix WHOIS and
RDAP; displaying a list of registrars; establishing requests for
authinfo, blocking and unblocking; mojeID profile editor, interface for
creating mojeID accounts and login into the domain browser will not work
as well.
The EPP server policy and behavior changesregarding setting up contact
data hiding.
The original server policy was "we publish the data if the end user
(contact) does not explicitly ask to hide the data. On the contrary, the
new server policy is "we hide the data if the contact does not
explicitly request to disclosure/publish the data".
The only exception is for the data "name" and "organization", which
remainvisible/disclosed at all times.
The "address" data will be hiden for verified data.
The current state and the new version state is in details with examples
of behavior
described here: https://www.nic.cz/page/3760/zmeny-epp-souvisejici-s-gdpr/
(technical description)
When deploying a new FRED version, individual settings for optionally
disclosed data for
all contacts in the registry will be overwritten according to the new
server policy, that means all data (except of "name", "organization" and
in case of unverified contacts "address" as well) will be hidden.
A complete overview of the changes in the new FRED version will be listed at
https://fred.nic.cz/documentation/html/ReleaseNotes/
All these changes are already implemented on the cz-test instance andyou
needto apply changes to your systems.
At the same time, if you are using our EPP client, it is necessary to
upgrade to the version 2.10.0, which will work with Fred 2.36 and Fred
2.37 - to download at https://www.nic.cz/page/744/registracni-system/
In case of any questions do not hesitate to contact me.
We apologize for any inconvenience caused.
