Http://icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-2-17jul09-en.htm Expressions of Interest Sought for Bulk
Transfer of Registrations 17 July 2009 As the result of the recent de-accreditation of registrar
Lead Networks Domains Pvt. Ltd. ("Lead Networks"), ICANN is seeking
expressions of interest from ICANN-accredited registrars that might wish to
assume sponsorship of the gTLD names that were previously managed by Lead
Networks. This request for expressions of interest is made pursuant to the
De-Accredited Registrar Transition Procedure posted at http://www.icann.org/processes/registrars/de-accredited-registrar-transition-procedure-01oct08.pdf. The de-accredited registrar managed approximately 70-80,000
registrations in dot-com and dot-net, and was accredited in no other gTLDs.
Escrowed registration data is available for the sponsored registrations and is
believed to be complete (including registrant, administrative, technical, and
billing contact data, as well as nameservers and expiration dates). ICANN-accredited registrars who wish to be considered as
potential recipients of the bulk transfer should be in good standing with
regard to all ICANN-obligations and submit an _expression_ of Interest, using the
form available at http://www.icann.org/en/processes/registrars/eoi-bulk-transfer-lead-17jul09-en.doc [DOC, 37K], by no later than 23:00 UTC on Thursday, 23 July
2009. ICANN reserves the right to entertain any or none of the
statements of interest submitted in response to this request and to select or
approve a bulk-transfer recipient outside this process. Registrar questions and submissions should be submitted by
email to mike.zupke@xxxxxxxxx. Customers of Lead Networks should refer to ICANN's posted
announcement at http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-17jul09-en.htm for registrant FAQs. Glen de Saint Géry GNSO Secretariat gnso.secretariat@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx |
