=== Deferred delegation for .ch and .li ===
In order to better protect internet users against malware and phishing, SWITCH is introducing deferred delegation for new registrations from 2 December 2021. The legal basis for this is the Ordinance on Internet Domains (https://www.fedlex.admin.ch/eli/cc/2014/701/en#art_25)

If SWITCH suspects that a registration is fraudulent, the domain name will be assigned, but SWITCH will prevent it from being added to the zone file and will request that the holder prove their identity within 30 days. SWITCH will contact the registrant directly by email and request they send proof of their identity (e.g. copy of passport). If they do not do so, SWITCH will revoke the assigned domain name. No refunds are given for revoked domains.

The domain name will remain blocked during the duration of the identification request period, and can be neither changed nor deleted.

=== Transferlock ===
After a successful transfer, the registry applies the status ''serverTransferProhibited''. While the domain name has this status, it cannot be transferred to another Partner. This status lasts 60 days and is then automatically removed.

=== Delete restrictions ===
As soon as a .CH domain gets deleted in our system, the registrant will receive an information eMail with the following options:

1. If he wants to '''renew''' the domain he should contact his domain '''provider'''. <br>
2. If he wants to '''transfer''' the domain to another registrar, the respective '''authorization code''' will be provided in this eMail <br>
3. If '''no action''' is taken the domain name will be '''deleted''' after 14 days. <br>

A demo of this email can be viewed here: {{Template:Pdf| Example_ch.pdf|Example deletion e-Mail.pdf}}<br>
