GoDaddy’s 60 Day Lock Finally Explained

GoDaddy’s 60 day lock is something that tends to provoke emotive responses.

Up until now, however, the company has never provided a clear public explanation of why and how it is implemented.

Finally this has happened, with GoDaddy’s Christine Jones providing a very clear explanation over on her personal blog. Go read it. Seriously.

The blog post comes in the wake of yet another rabble rousing blog post criticising it, this time over on ZDNet.

    The blog post adds nothing. Or have I missed it?

    Whether or not they think it “is the right thing to do” is completely beside the point.

    People don’t like the practice because it is not consistent with terms of the relevant Icann agreement.

    Why they do it has always been obvious to all concerned. Motives are valid, etc.

    So what?

    I mean: “The *Godaddy* blog post adds nothing”.

    Thanks for pointing this out.
