ICANN Seeking Feedback on Domain Transfers

November 21, 2011 by Michele Neylon

As part of its ongoing review of domain transfers ICANN has opened a public comment period.

You can read the full announcement here.

This time round the focus is on:

  • “change of control” ie. when a domain changes registrant / holder with OR without a change of registrar
  • Timing out / expiring transfer authorisations. At the moment it’s a bit “up in the air”, so it could be gamed
  • Streamlining registrar IDs within registries (probably not something that registrants will really care about)

As usual, the comment period is 100% public and open – and anyone who has an opinion is welcome to share it.

Disclosure – I’m a member of the Working Group in question.
