That indicates that approval has been rolled up into GoDaddy at this point, and you’ll have to get a notarized letter from the city for them to issue you a domain.

Just saw your other comment here. That's a bummer. I've been lucky to have never dealt with GoDaddy.

Any idea who the current SF registrar is?

Yup! Sonic.net

`whois sf.ca.us` will give you the email of the registrar (thanks cogitosum).
