Hopefully most of our members got the word from other forums about the status of WL... the domain was stolen by Registerfly and remained parked for four days trying to recover the domain from RF.

GoDaddy was trying to help recover those ones which have been stolen.
I am not entirely sure what had to transpire to get the site back up, but wow, it was a long week.

We hope members will go to their favorite threads and update with news etc, from the last week.

Here's the status of Registerfly as of yesterday.



Quote:
ICANN today issued a formal notice of termination of RegisterFly.com's Registration Accreditation Agreement (RAA).

ICANN has issued a letter to RegisterFly [PDF, 902K] indicating that it will cease operating as an ICANN-Accredited Registrar on March 31, 2007. Under the terms of the Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA), ICANN must provide 15 days written notice to RegisterFly of its intention to terminate.

Effective immediately ICANN has terminated RegisterFly's right to use the ICANN Accredited Registrar logo on its website.

Between now and 31 March RegisterFly is required to unlock and provide all necessary Authinfo codes to allow domain name transfers to occur. Any and all registrants wishing to transfer away from RegisterFly during this period should be allowed to do so efficiently and expeditiously.

"Terminating accreditation is the strongest measure ICANN is able to take against RegisterFly under its powers," Dr. Paul Twomey, President and CEO of ICANN said today.

"ICANN has been frustrated and distressed by recent management confusion inside RegisterFly," Dr. Twomey, President said. "I completely understand the greater frustration and enormous difficulty that this has created for registrants."

When the Agreement is terminated, ICANN can approve a bulk transfer of all current RegisterFly domain names to another ICANN accredited Registrar.

"Of course, RegisterFly does not have to wait till then. They can request ICANN to approve a bulk transfer immediately. I call on RegisterFly to act in the interests of registrants and seek such a transfer from us straight away," Dr. Twomey said.

ICANN intends to hold a forum to discuss the reform of the Accreditation policy and process at its Lisbon meeting in a week's time*.

A set of questions and points to inform the discussion will be made public prior to the Lisbon meeting.

* The Lisbon meeting is one of three meetings held a year by ICANN to meet with global stakeholders. It will take place from 26-30 March 2007.

Phew! That was a looong week. Anyhow, it`s great to be back. At this moment in time I don`t have all the details of how the site came back online as it happened (for me) late last night. I`ll see if I can get some more details from Ed later today when he`s online.

Thanks to all our members, and our mods especially, who`ve been trying to keep members updated about the RF situation on some other forums. It`s very much appreciated.

So, back to normal one more. Happy posting.
