The China Internet Network Information Center, CNNIC, have announced
applicants for .CN domain names will be required to submit hard copy
(paper) applications in addition to their online application as of 14
December 2009.

The hard copy application will need to include the original application
form with business seal, company business license (photocopy), and
registrant ID (photocopy). Registrars have been advised they are required
to carefully review the application material, and when an application is
deemed to meet the requirements, they are to submit the application
material via fax or email to CNNIC and withhold the original application
material.

If CNNIC does not receive the formal paper-based application material
within five days or the application material does not meet requirements,
the domain name applied for will be deleted.

This should help dramatically cut back on malicious .CN domain
registrations by Eastern European criminals -- stay tuned.
