ATTENTION:

You will find the request-field "individual" within the request-definition. if you set it to "Y", you have to provide the request-fields "lname" and "fname" or "name". If you set it to "N", you have to provide information in the request-field "organization".

If you provide the field "name", the whois is showing always the values of this field, regardless of "fname" and "lname".

If you only provide the field "fname" and the field "lname", we will generate the field "name" as the result of the concatenation of "fname" + " " + "lname".

.asia Contacts

new-handle (implicit creation of a new contact)

This means the definition of a new contact. if a contact with the provided email address exists in the JOKER-DATABASE, a new contact will be created. The reference for the created handle is following the format COAS-<number>, e.g. COAS-176269.

ATTENTION:

The name of the request field depends on the context. If you want to create a contact for the owner-contact, you have to replace the ".." at the beginning of the fieldname with "owner-contact".

If you want to create a contact for the admin-contact, you have to replace the ".." at the beginning of the fieldname with "admin-contact".

If you want to create a contact for the tech-contact, you have to replace the ".." at the beginning of the fieldname with "tech-contact".

If you want to create a contact for the billing-contact, you have to replace the ".." at the beginning of the fieldname with "billing-contact".

There is a new request field called name within the contact definition. This field is mandatory, if you do not provide the fnamelname. You have to provide the request field name, if fname and lname are not found. This is very important for the whois output. Everytime a field person is shown. If you are using the request field name, the whois is showing the value for name, regardless the content of the request fields fname and lname. If you do not provide the request field name but your are providing the request fields fname and lname, the whois is showing the concatenation of these fields.

There is also a new request field called address-3 within the contact definition. This field is not mandatory, it is simply the 3rd line of the address.

request-field	valid values	required
".."-individual	[YN]	yes
".."-lname	[\x20-\x7e]{0,80}	no, if name is given
".."-fname	[\x20-\x7e]{0,80}	no, if name is given
".."-name	[\x20-\x7e]{0,80}	yes, if fname and/or lname are not given
".."-title	[\x20-\x7e]{0,80}	no

".."-email	@email	yes
".."-phone	[[\x20-\x7e]{1,50}	yes
".."-fax	[[\x20-\x7e]{0,50}	no

An existing contact (@asiacont or @same-as) (.asia only)

This means an existing contact handle in the JOKER-DATABASE.

Examples:

owner-contact-handle:COAS-176269
admin-contact-handle:COAA-176229
tech-contact-handle:COAS-176269
billing-contact-handle:COAS-176269

ASIA-domains require an additional type of contact, the CED contact. This contact has to have its residence in the Asian/Australian area.
The Joker.com Registry Gateways automatically will use your provided tech-contact for the CED contact.
This means that the request for you remains consistent with the usual requests, you only have to make sure that the country code is correct, otherwise the .asia registry will reject the order.

In case you have entered a non-existing contact handle, the system will send you an errormail.

It is also possible to set a reference to a contact definition, which has been made earlier within the current request. To do so, please use the following syntax:

admin-contact-handle:same-as-owner-contact

tech-contact-handle:same-as-admin-contact

billing-contact-handle:same-as-tech-contact

The @same-as makro always replaces the value for the specified contact handle with the email address of the makrotarget. If the referenced contact has to be created with this request, it takes the result handle.

Keep in mind that for .asia-requests the contact handles for (.com/.net/.org/.info/.biz/.de)-contacts are not allowed. If you are referencing to a shortcut like hans@nose.net#1, you will get an error.
