Once registration is completed domain activation can be set through the control panel which will allow the normal editing of domain whois details, DNS etc. It was thought best to put domains through using the privacy service without charge, so as not to populate the public database with registrant information.

Perhaps refer to question 34 at: http://registrars.nominet.uk/namespace/uk/launch/q-and-a#faq-id-749
Trying to exercise a .uk ROR via the WDM using a different registrant name returns the error “Domain not created - V334 Your request for domain '{domain}.uk' has failed because the 'account-name' for the registrant does not fully match any registrant which has rights for this domain” so perhaps they registered it first and then transferred it to their privacy service after.
Question (assuming you represent 123reg), are both the .uk domain and the privacy service 'auto-renew'? There is no justification for exercising ROR status at this time and if your answer to my question is "yes", I seriously question the morality of 123reg's tactics!

You need to be careful mentioning names in threads here. .
What’s not to like (from a rights holder registrant perspective rather than a drop catcher in waiting)?
It all depends whether the name is set to autorenew at the registrant's expense or not. And what happens to the name if the registrant chooses not to renew.
That’s two years away. Everyone I’ve spoken to hopes rights holders to activate these .uk domain names during the free period, that they’ll make use of them and then feel they’re able to make an informed choice near the expiration of the free two year period about whether to renew or not (obviously registrar and registry would prefer a renew).
It’s not really arguable that offering two years of a domain name registration for free isn’t in registrants interests. I expect to be exercising a great number of RoR’s this month for a registrant who is delighted about it (nothing to do without 123-reg but same offer).
Not “only one thing” but increasing DUM is obviously an ambition of any TLD. Isn’t it the ambition of your registrar too?
If their DUM size increases beyond that of .de, would they be telling an untruth? DUM is a widely used statistic but we all know it’s flakey.
If they deliver a service in return they’ll be compensated for it. Quite usual.
