Creating a comma-separated value file

A comma-separated value (CSV) file created in a text editor provides the name conversion utility with the information it needs to make a name change to user contact, privacy, and alert-me-when lists. The CSV file includes the type of change and typically provides details such as the old name and the new name, and optionally, the display name.
