.TEL specific changes

If the Registrant of a .TEL domain name is an Individual, he/she has an option not to have his/her personal information displayed in the Whois. The Registrant can choose to have this option enabled/disabled at the time of Registration.

In order to accomplish this, you need to pass the following information in the extraInfo parameter under the registerDomain method of the DomOrder class. The DomOrder class is included in the Domains Kit:

Key Value
WhoisType Legal (default value; applicable if the Registrant is an Organization) Natural (applicable if the Registrant is an Individual)
Publish Not Applicable N (hides the Contact details in the Whois)

Y (displays the Contact details in the Whois)

However, if the Registrant of a .TEL domain name is an Organization, then the complete Contact details are displayed in the Whois. In this case, you need not make any changes to the registerDomain call.
