Changes that involve registration of a different sudomain from that
currently held typically go through the normal application proceedure,
based on the guidelines in force at that time.

In such cases, the CA Registrar typically honours requests to maintain
registration of the old subdomain for some reasonable period, say
6 months, to allow for a smooth transition, noting that correspondents
generally need to be notified and that nameservice records need to be
updated.  Additionally, organizations usually need this transition
period, as they find they need to change things like business cards,
stationary, etc, to correspond to their new subdomain.
