**Donuts Inc., which has signed RAs for a significant number of applications, generally has received RAs ready for signature on Tuesday with ICANN returning them countersigned by Thursday. <ref name="Ondo"></ref>

== Registry Onboarding Overview ==

+

*ICANN suggested timeline: 6 weeks, simultaneous with 6 week PDT <ref name="Program Update"></ref>

+

* 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>

+

** [[Contact Sheet]] - Establishes appropriate contacts for various contingencies.

+

** [[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.

+

*Without completing this step, one cannot move on to delegation. <ref name="transcript"></ref>

+

====Applicant Tips and Experience====

+

*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>
