If my registrar has sent in a restore request to the registry, why can't my Web site and e-mail be live immediately?

Once a registrar formally requests to restore a name,it must provide a special restore report to Afilias within five (5) days of the request to restore the name. This report must include background documentation and a reason for the restoration. Afilias must have this report before it can unlock your domain and restore the domain name. If your registrar does not deliver the report within the five (5) days, the name will go back into RGP.
