Registration terms: 1–10 years. Transfers in are supported with an authorisation code. Registration waits for registry documents. 15 extra registry fields (0 required).

Registry documents are required. The domain waits in a pending state until you upload documents and the registry approves them.
The registry checks your name servers before it accepts the registration. Point the domain at name servers that already answer for it.
This extension has extra registry fields — see Extra fields below. Which ones you must send can depend on the value of another field.

tldAttributes lists every field this extension defines. Send the ones that apply: the table above says which are required, and some become required only for a particular value of another field.
