Re: [ga] Domain is expiring within next 60 days , you CAN'T transfer

["kidsearch" <kidsearch@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Chuck the question is why should I not be allowed to transfer my domain name anytime I want. Can you give me good reasons why a registry or registrar should be able to tell users when and if they can transfer their domain names and can you show me where this is good for consumers?

  Bashar,

  In case you are not aware, the transfer policy can be found at http://www.icann.org/transfers/

  Note in particular the following exerpt in Section 3, Obligations of the Registrar of Record:

  "Instances when the requested change of Registrar may not be denied include, but are not limited to: 
    a.. . . . 
    b.. Domain name registration period time constraints, other than during the first 60 days of initial registration or during the first 60 days after a registrar transfer."

    Dears,

    I noticed some registrars DENY accepting domain transfers that are expiring within 60 days at their registrars.




    is this allowed by ICANN/registries? is it allowed to set certain rules with the latest Transfer Policy?
