Registerfly's Accreditation Terminated by ICANN

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the enough-of-that dept.

Punker22 writes "Effective immediately ICANN has terminated RegisterFly.com's accreditation. Between now and 31 March RegisterFly is required to unlock and provide all necessary Authinfo codes to allow domain name transfers to occur. Any and all registrants wishing to transfer away from RegisterFly during this period should be allowed to do so efficiently and expeditiously. 'Terminating accreditation is the strongest measure ICANN is able to take against RegisterFly under its powers,' Dr. Paul Twomey, President and CEO of ICANN said today."

    FWIW the Registerfly main page still displays the ICANN logo, and based on a little experimentation a short while ago it seems that I could still register a domain there if I was so foolish to want to give them my money.

    They seem to be taking that letter very seriously.

    sheesh, next your going to say that there should be some point in the different tlds, with .com used by commercial entities etc. Maybe you'd actually like these rules to be enforced!

    Where would the internet be today if we allowed it to be based on sensible, commonly agreed, standards?
