[gtld-tech] Beilong Zhongwang

[Joe Wein]

Has anyone else received an email in Chinese from an entity called Beilong 
Zhongwang in response to a recent CZDS application?

I received one with a link to a Chinese language web page.

According to a Google translate, they request information via e-mail over 
and above what I already supplied via the ICANN portal for all CZDS 
requests.

In there they say they will take six months to process zone file requests 
and they will reject them unless the extra information is supplied by email.
