Also there was a recent update in our EPP server, names of contacts can now be updated. See example: https://www.isnic.is/epp#update_contact.

]]>We would also like to remind everybody about the 1st October deadline of setting the contact type (role/person) when creating contacts. After the deadline, it will become mandatory to set the type of contact, failure to do so will throw an error.
Happy Friday,

]]>ISNIC is working hard on it's GDPR compliance these days and we need you to check your procedures.
As you know from our latest news item, names, addresses and phonenumbers of all domain contacts (NIC-handle) classifed as persons will by default be withheld from ISNIC's public Whois before May 25th.
We need you to make sure your client's contacts (NIC-handles) are correctly classified (person vs role) before we make this change, before May 25th.
All personal NIC-handles of .is domains should be classifed as person. All others should be classified as role.
NOTE - Those using our depreciated SOAP API to create or transfer .is domains will need to change over to using EPP before October 1 2018.

The reason for this is simply to get deleted domains back on the market one month sooner and to align the .is domain rules to international conventions. After this change ISNIC will also inform the registrant precisely when the domain will be deleted, regardless of any holidays. This means that the so called holiday rule will also be abandoned (.is domains were never deleted on icelandic holidays).
The third reason for this change, and perhaps the most important one, is to increase automation and enabling ISNIC to maintain stable registration- and renewal fees in spite of cost increases.

Breytingarnar fara út á dev svæði í dag og er gert ráð fyrir að þær fari í production á næstu dögum.

Changes will be made to the function checkDomain() in the next couple of days. Until now the function has return 0 all invalid domainnames, since the function only checked if the domain was already registered. The new behaviour will be that -2 will be returned if the doman is not a valid .is domain. You can therefor assume that if checkDomain returns 0, that the domain is available and can be registered.
These changes will go to the dev servers today and we plan to move them to production in the next couple of days.

]]>our API servers will be upgraded early next week. This is a OS upgrade and we're expecting very little service interruptions. The production API service should not be offline, but run on a backup server momentarily during the change.
We expect api-dev to be upgraded monday morning, before 12AM and upon successful operations for a day or so, we'll upgrade api (production) on wednesday morning, before 12AM.

Stýrikerfisuppfærslur á api og api-dev þjónum ISNIC verða framvæmdar á mánudag- og miðvikudag. Þar sem hægt er að nota varavél á meðan skipt er um vél fyrir API gerum við ráð fyrir mjög litlum truflunum.
