=== Registrant Nexus Requirements ===

Any Applicant, any party submitting a Domain Name Registration Request and any Domain Name Holder represents and warrants that:

* it meets the nexus requirement of having a bona fide connection to Somalia, which includes but are not limited to a) institutions and organizations in Somalia; b) residents of Somalia; c) others who have a legitimate, clear and provable connection to Somalia;
* it will meet the nexus requirement above at all times during the period in which the domain registration is valid; to its knowledge, the registration of the Domain Name mentioned in the Application or Domain Name Registration Request will not infringe upon or otherwise violate the rights of any third party; 
* it is not submitting the Application or Domain Name Registration Request and, upon registration, will not use the Domain Name for an unlawful purpose (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes concepts and content relating to indecency, pornography and gambling), contrary to public policy or morality, for offensive purposes, to mislead the public and/or contrary to good and fair business practices; and 
* it will not knowingly use the domain name in violation of any applicable laws or regulations, including third party interests; and
* it will keep the WHOIS information related to the Domain Name accurate and up-to-date at all times, both with its Registrar and the Registry.

=== Authorization code ===

There are special requirements regarding the format of the authorization code. Please consider the following restrictions, if you want to assign a new authorization code to a .SO domain:

*Minimum 8 characters
*having at least one (1) numeric,
*one (1) alphabetic, and
*one (1) special character

<br>
These syntax rules are legible as of November 14th, 2009. It is possible that updates for domains which still have an "old" AuthCode assigned, will fail with this error message: <br><br><div class="alerthexonet alerthexonet-info">505 AUTH - minimum 8 characters, containing at least one numeric, one alphabetic and one special character</div>

You may generate a valid random auth code by adding this parameter to the ModifyDomain command:<br>
<pre>GENERATERANDOMAUTH = 1</pre>

Example:
 
<pre>
 command = ModifyDomain
 domain = domain.so
 generaterandomauth = 1
</pre>
