Most of the domains I'm working with are gTLDs anyway. If there is interest I'm happy to include my results. <br><br>John Levine, thanks for the offer, I would appreciate it if you could send that, less wheel inventing is a good thing. :) Feel free to attach any convenient form of compressed file. <br><br>Rick, thanks for the links, you saved me having to hunt this down. :)<br><br>Doug<br><br><br>April 14 2016 1:12 PM, "Rick Wesson" <<a target="_blank" tabindex="-1" href="mailto:%22Rick%20Wesson%22%20<rick@support-intelligence.com>">rick@support-intelligence.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote><div><div><div dir="ltr"><div style="font-family: 'courier new',monospace">A not that many of the gTLD registrars that have signed the 2013 RAA are new required to support the format [1] specified in the 2013 RAA.
