Participation is optional.
The formal invitation for the pilot program is expected within the next few weeks. The work to date has been conducted independent of the VeriSign Registry and NSI Registrar by the VeriSign Applied Research Department. The Applied Research Department will assist any accredited Registrar with the development of the LDAP software or Registrars may participate in the program and develop the LDAP services on their own. There is no enrollment cost to participate in the pilot program. Registrars will assume the hardware and software development costs.
