Registrars in the Ramp-up Period: Those who have received a password to the PIR Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) environment. The OT&E environment is provided to allow registrars to develop and test their systems with the PIR Shared Registration System (SRS). 3. Registrars in the Pre-Ramp-up Period: Those who have been sent a welcome letter from PIR, but have not yet executed the Registry Confidentiality Agreement and/or have not yet submitted a completed Registrar Information Sheet.
