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 and adjustability)

- 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.
(We complement namespace for extension with contact address).

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Thank you and kind regards

Markéta Kušičková
