ICANN News Alert -- Bulk Transfer of Domain Names from ABSYSTEMS INC dba yournamemonkey(dot)com to EnCirca, Inc.
by ICANN At-Large Staff March 11, 2014

March 11, 2014

[http://www.icann.org/images/gradlogo_bow.jpg]<http://www.icann.org/> News Alert http://www.icann.org/en/news/announcements/announcement-10mar14-en.htm ________________________________ Bulk Transfer of Domain Names from ABSYSTEMS INC dba yournamemonkey(dot)com to EnCirca, Inc. 10 March 2014 ICANN has authorized the bulk transfer of gTLD domain names from ABSYSTEMS INC dba yournamemonkey(dot)com to EnCirca, Inc. due to compliance actions taken by ICANN that resulted in the de-accreditation of ABSYSTEMS INC dba yournamemonkey(dot)com. The affected gTLD registries have processed the bulk transfers. Former registrant-customers of ABSYSTEMS INC dba yournamemonkey(dot)com should receive notices from EnCirca, Inc. advising of the transfer. Customer questions about the transfer should be directed to EnCirca, Inc. (for contact details see http://www.internic.net/registrars/registrar-455.html or visit their website directly here: http://www.encirca.com/) Additional information about these bulk transfers is provided below. FAQs Q. Why were these transfers authorized by ICANN? A. The Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) of ABSYSTEMS INC dba yournamemonkey(dot)com was terminated, effective 20 January 2014. As a result, ABSYSTEMS INC dba yournamemonkey(dot)com is no longer permitted to register or manage gTLD registrations. ICANN authorized bulk transfers pursuant to the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy to ensure that the registrant-customers of this registrar would not be harmed by their registrar's discontinued ability to manage the registrations. Q. How was the gaining registrar selected? A. ICANN followed its De-Accredited Registrar Transition Procedure (see http://www.icann.org/en/resources/registrars/drt/dartp-11jul13-en.pdf [PDF, 129 KB]) to identify a gaining registrar for the gTLD names formerly managed by the de-accredited registrar. Through this process, EnCirca, Inc. was identified. Q. Will EnCirca, Inc. attempt to contact the affected registrants? What should customers of this de-accredited registrar do now? A. Former customers of ABSYSTEMS INC dba yournamemonkey(dot)com should receive a notice of the transfer and instructions for continued management of their names from EnCirca, Inc. Affected customers who do not receive notices from EnCirca, Inc. should contact EnCirca, Inc. by using the contact information provided at http://www.internic.net/registrars/registrar-455.html. Q. Do registrants have to pay a fee for the bulk transfer? A. No, there is no cost to registrants for the bulk transfer. Unlike a normal inter-registrar transfer, the registration terms will not be extended by a year. Accordingly, it is important to contact EnCirca, Inc. if your registration will expire soon in order to maintain your registration. Q. What if affected registrants want to select a different registrar? A. Registrants will continue to be able to transfer their registrations to other registrars under the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (see http://www.icann.org/en/transfers/) Note that EnCirca, Inc. may deny transfers for the first 60 days following the bulk transfer, at its discretion. This 60-day period is permissible under the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy and is intended to help protect registrants. The registrant may need to renew names that will expire during the first 60 days following the transfer to EnCirca, Inc. by using the details provided above. Q. How will ABSYSTEMS INC dba yournamemonkey(dot)com customers know if a message purportedly from EnCirca, Inc. is legitimate? A. The message from EnCirca, Inc. should direct you to its website or refer you to other contact information provided above. For general advice about avoiding phishing email messages, you may also wish to refer to the materials prepared by the Anti-Phishing Working Group (see http://www.antiphishing.org/resources/overview/avoid-phishing-scams)
