ICANN Seeks Expressions of Interest For SimplyNamed’s Portfolio

As was to be expected ICANN is now seeking expressions of interest in the bulk transfer of the recently deaccredited registrars.

The first one “up for grabs” is SimplyNamed’s, which numbers less than 300 domains.

Expect to see the other two being listed very shortly …

Of course with portfolios that small you’d have to wonder if many registrars will “bite”. The amount of hassle taking over such a small number of domains may outweigh any possible benefits.
