The .TW registry (TWNIC) offers grandfathering registrations for holders of existing ASCII.TW domains that wish to register the same ASCII domain under .台灣 (.xn--kpry57d).
Before the official opening, TWNIC provides priority registration for registrants who meet the eligibility requirements.
For example, twnic.tw can be registered for twnic.台灣 in the grandfathering period.
The following eligibility criteria apply and are checked by the registry:
- The creation date for ACSII.tw should be earlier than the same ASCII name under .台灣 (.xn--kpry57d)
- The registrant of ASCII.台灣 (.xn--kpry57d) should be the same as ASCII.tw
- ASCII.tw and ASCII.台灣 (.xn--kpry57d) should be managed under the same registrar when creating ASCII.台灣.
Grandfathering Period : from January 7th, 2020 to February 10th, 2020.
The ASCII.tw Domain Name “.台灣(.xn--kpry57d)” will be starting on February 18, 2020.
For more information on the conditions for registration of your .台灣, don’t hesitate to contact us.
