Activate or Delete your free .info names at Enom

[adoptabledomains]

You can now accept or delete the 1 million free .info names enom registered on your behalf. They are now in the panel under your domain controls in the redemption period list. You can accept them from a "promotional" listing or mark them to be deleted. Here's the text from the Enom website:

These domain names are free promotional .info domain names. If you are the registrant, or have the apparent authority of the registrant, you may either 1) "activate" the name or, 2) delete the name or, 3) do nothing. The names are not resolving, which means they are not pointing to any IP address in the DNS.

All the options are free:

Activate
If you choose this option you will proceed through the normal shopping cart and checkout process but you will not be charged for the name. You will confirm that you agree to the registration agreement and then the name will move to the normal paid status listing in your account. After you activate the name, you can push it to any other eNom account, change the whois information set the name server (DNS) information and otherwise use the name like any other .info name. You can even transfer the name to another registrar if you wish.

Delete
If you choose this option the name will be deleted at the registry. After proceeding through the normal ICANN "redemption grace" and "pending delete" periods, the name will go back into the registry's pool of names which are available for registration. If after you delete the name, you change your mind and wish to bring the name back from the redemption grace period (RGP), in effect "un-deleting" the name, you will have to pay the standard RGP fee. If you wish to delete all of the .info promotional names in this account, please contact eNom customer service.

Do Nothing
If you choose this option the name will either be automatically deleted during the 45-day auto-renew grace period after the name expires, or before.

At least this now answers a lot of questions.

this optional acceptance is a darn smart move by Enom

I hadn't seen those there... guess I need to read the forums more often.

Weird, I only have 6 free .infos listed but almost 800 names still at enom.

Thanks for posting! I never would have realized they were there.

I had 23 listed, and accepted only 2 that had most other TLD's taken.

I think they only tried to find available .info's of .com names in your account. In my account it doesn't look like they tried .net/org/biz/us. They also started alphabetically.
