| + | * Applicant timeline examples: ____ days |
| + | *Registry Onboarding takes place in steps throughout the contracting process. Therefore, allotting 6 weeks at PDT may not be a very helpful way to think of this process, especially as it can be started as early as after the RA is signed. |

| + | ===Registry Onboarding Step 1=== |
| + | *The first step of Registry Onboarding can take place after the execution of the RA, and it includes gathering contact information and verifying “credentialing and operational support.” <ref name="transcript">http://buenosaires48.icann.org/en/schedule/mon-new-gtld/transcript-new-gtld-18nov13-en PDT Papac, Krista.</ref> |

| + | ** [[Onboarding Information Request]] (ONB-IR) - Can be established concurrently with PDT, but must be completed prior to Delegation. Includes information on Zone File Access; Bulk Thin Registration Data Access; Data Escrow Registry Reporting; URS; EPP; IDN Tables; SLA Monitoring. |

| + | *The ONB-IR is sent out as a text file and must be submitted as a text file, unlike other documents ICANN asks registries to submit.<ref name="Ondo"></ref> |
| + | *Registries also must submit individual paperwork for each new gTLD.<ref name="Ondo"></ref> |
