Hi,

as a side note, I'd like to express that accreditation tests that require 
registrars to perform certain operations on a test system in a certain order 
with certain parameters is IMHO completely useless and a waste of (human) 
resources. As soon as a registrar starts to write a custom script to perform the 
test instead of simply trying to let his registration system interact with the 
registry's system, the proof loses its value. And to my experience, this happens 
in most of the cases. For this reason, we as a registry operator are trying to 
convince the TLD sponsor not to demand the execution of a technical 
accreditation test by the registrar at all.

Regards,

Klaus
