1. CL&D implementation only specifies one date, there is no early bound stated for when registries can implement the requirements, other than that it must be done by August 1. Is there an "earliest by" date for implementation or are all registries expected to implement the requirements on exactly August 1?

    1. There is no “earliest by” or “not to be deployed before” date for the CL&D policy implementation. The policy effective date is 1 August 2017 but registries may implement before this date.

  2. Do the Registrar Abuse Contact Email and Registrar Abuse Contact phone number fields need to be populated or just presented/included? Can null or empty fields be displayed and still be considered compliant?

    1. The Registry Registration Data Directory Services Consistent Labeling and Display Policy requires that Registrar Abuse Contact Email and Registrar Abuse Contact Phone fields be displayed with data. They cannot be empty.
