At 1am on Monday 116,462 active and 4,026 inactive names, for a total of 120,488, where transferred to NZRS. The inactive means that these names are pending deletion as they are at final stages of not being renewed and therefore most, if not all, names will likely be deleted in a month or so.

The active name total is nearly 4,500 names higher than used for all the budget and cost projections for the first year of the registry. InternetNZ council was aware of the higher numbers at the time of deciding on the higher of the two proposed wholesale prices.

Also of note only 349 active .maori.nz names were registered between September 5th and October 14th. This is at least half of the number of names I would have expected.

The DNSO Whois Taskforce has released its Interim Report for public comment. At first glance they have recommended that gTLD and ccTLD whois should align. I wrote about this last month and I am planning to detail my opinions comparing whois with other sovereign registers.
