 Once a ‘Registrant-ID’ is registered along with the supporting documentation, this Registrant-ID is considered to be ‘white-listed’ by CNNIC.  Future registrations under the same ‘Registrant-ID’ will not need to submit new documentation.  This applies to both Company and Individual registrations.  The only documentation needed will be the Letter of Commitment for the new Registrations.
