@ Lee, there is something about that on this page at Nominet:

Planned Changes

The heading titled, 09/12/2008 (Completed) WHOIS status - no longer required, says:

Domain names marked as renew-not-required will now show a registration status of "No longer required" on their WHOIS output. This change reflects the fact that a domain name marked as renew not required will still follow the usual period of suspension prior to cancellation. A full list of WHOIS status outputs is available.

Thanks, it's good in a way as registrant can visibly see their domain wont be renewed, not sure how many check whois on their own names and how often though.

 

[devolution]

Can someone give me a sample domain I can whois so I can update my Bulk Checker with the new status(es)...

sample domain:
invoicing.co.uk

Registration status:
No longer required

 

[devolution]

Thanks... Also, does it only say it on domains that are suspended, or are there any others (eg: renewal required) that have it on too/instead?

IMHO, I don't understand why we need another status if the domain goes through exactly the same process as Renewal Required ones. Except perhaps to alert people that it might have more chance of dropping??

I think there should be other status indicators

Normal transfer delay

Disputed

Legal transfer delay

I personally like this one:

Congratulations! You have won the 10,000,000th WHOIS Lookup competition. Please click here to claim your domains Internet.co.uk, com.co.uk and net.co.uk!

the could be domains without "suspended" mark which have status "No longer required" , for example cfmx / co / uk If somebody is interested in a listing PM me.
