ICANN: Registerfly has forzen ALL the transfers!

Not that long ago ICANN terminated RegisterFly to be an accredited registar. Under the agreement RegisterFly could initiate arbitration challenging the termination, which it did and that means the termination has to be stayed by at least an additional thirty days.

Consequently there will be NO BULK(domains) TRANSFER to another Accredited registrar until further notice.

comments from ICANN:

      This clearly does not help registrants. It is another example of RegisterFly putting its own interests ahead of its customers.
      ICANN is committed to pursuing RegisterFly under the terms of the Agreement.
      ICANN has filed suit in Federal Court in the Central District of California to require RegisterFly to turn over all registrant data and to require them to provide updates every 48 hours and open up their books for audit. This will assist in making sure the data is accurate when a bulk transfer does occur or if the data is otherwise not available from the operators of RegisterFly.
      RegisterFly is still required to assist registrants who want to transfer to another Registrar.
    ICANN will provide more updates as information becomes available.

This news are quite sad, to say the least. I have several RegisterFly domains that are in the process of being transferred, and now everything is frozen.

I just called and spoke with GoDaddy – they cannot give any guarantees. RegisterFly is impossible to reach. ICANN cannot do anything, because of the agreement.

Any thoughts?

Music Video Clip of the day: Dire Straits “Money for Nothing”

“Money for Nothing” is a song by Dire Straits, which first appeared on their 1985 album Brothers in Arms and subsequently became an international hit when released as a single. It peaked at number one for three weeks in the U.S., becoming their most successful single. The song was notable for its controversial lyrics, groundbreaking music video and a cameo appearance by Sting singing the song’s iconic falsetto introduction and backing chorus, a borrowing of the cable network’s slogan “I want my MTV”. The video was also the first to be aired on MTV Europe when the network started on August 1, 1987.

Music Video Clip of the day: Scorpions “Wind of Change”

“Wind of Change” is a 1990 power ballad written by Klaus Meine, vocalist of Scorpions. The lyrics celebrate the political changes in Eastern Europe at that time – such as the fall of the Berlin Wall, the increasing freedom in the communist bloc (which would soon lead to the fall of the USSR), and the clearly imminent end of the Cold War.
