Overview
This document is designed to provide resellers with a step-by-step guide about the
processes for purchasing a domain name categorized under Early Access Program
(EAP) by Donuts, Inc.
Definition
Early Access Program (EAP) is a special domain registration period for all Donuts' new
TLDs. The purpose is to allow general public to register good domain names as soon as
possible when a TLD enters General Availability period.
Traditionally, the landrush phase for a new TLD takes place after sunrise phase and
before general availability (see terminology below). For all new Donuts' TLDs, general
availability occurs after sunrise, skipping landrush phase.
The EAP takes place during the first 7 (seven) days of a TLD's general availability. EAP
period starts at 16:00 UTC and ends at 15:59 UTC the following day.
Example: (not actual dates)
Jan 01: Sunrise opens at 16:00 UTC
Jan 28: Sunrise closes at 15:59 UTC
.........no access period.........
Feb 01: General Availability - EAP Day 1
Feb 02: General Availability - EAP Day 1
Feb 02: General Availability - EAP Day 2
.........continue.....................
Feb 08: General Availability - EAP Day 7

Overview
EAP fee
During EAP period, the EAP Fee (separate from registration fee) is required. It must be
passed along with the total registration price to CustomerSuppliedPrice parameter.
Please keep in mind that the EAP fee is not refundable.
CustomerSuppliedPrice = (number of year * registration price) + EAP fee
Terminology
Sunrise Phase
Sunrise is the period when owners of trademarks have the opportunity to place orders for
domain names that contain their owned marks.
Landrush Phase
During Landrush, non-trademark holders may register domains that did not qualify for
Sunrise and consist of generic terms, such as loan or car.
General Availability
Public may register any domain names that are still available.
