.mw Registrar, GDPR compliance test phase on .mw - invitation ======================================== I am pleased to advise that the Malawi .mw ccTLD registry on FRED has started a test phase for compliance on GDPR compliance for all and we would like to invite you to assist us to test. We have now mounted a test server to handle both EPP and WHOIS on ngoli3.sdnp.org.mw that you can test right away. A WHOIS query for any of your existing domains will show that we are now hiding details on the e-mail, phone, fax and other details while showing name, organisation, address, DNS servers. The database on the test server is that of 24 July 2020. You can compare the following: 1. Current WHOIS at: http://www.registrar.mw/whois-intro.php 2. Current command line WHOIS:  $whois domains.mw -h ngoli.sdnp.org.mw 3. GDPR compliant test :  http://ngoli3.sdnp.org.mw/whois 4. GDPR compliant command line test: $whois domains.mw -h ngoli3.sdnp.org.mw You can also test creating a new contact using EPP and you will find that the default is "hide" on the above details and it is up to the registrar to toggle this to "disclose" as needed. Please make sure that your EPP client is capable of handling the .mw GDPR complaint environment as you continue to conduct your business using the .mw registry. We will have this test phase running for at least two week from 1 August 2020 after which we will make a decision to move this test phase to the production environment. All modifications that you make on the test environment will be deleted and lost from ngoli3 at the end of the test phase, so, you can test as much as you need to without charge. Please let me know if you face any problems using the new GDPR compliant test .mw registry on EPP, WHOIS or any other service. These steps are very important to us.
