Found on the ICANN Public Participation Website: "I have an unexpired domain (ifasc.org) and my webhost suddenly dropped my site and has since blocked my domain from transferring to another webhost. Because of this, my non profit organization has lost contact with all of our volunteers around the world and we are desperately issuing press releases asking our volunteers to contact us using a generic email service provider. The problem I have is that all my attempts to contact the webhost LOWBUDGETHOST.COM and the registar JDT, Technologies by phone or by email have also failed. They do not respond and it has been a week since they last billed me. (Yeah, pages are down, but the billing continues and they remain silent). I was forced to purchase a new domain and host my pages with another webhost. However, my former registrar just keeps refusing to reply to my requests to unlock my domain before it expires. If anyone has any idea what I can I do to retreive my domain IFASC.ORG, please let me know to my email: dgon1329[at]aol.com or iex[at]hq.ifasc.net." Obviously registrants are continuing to have transfer-related problems. RegisterFly is not the only example of this predicament. This registrant was the INTERNATIONAL FAMILY AID & SUPPORT CENTER that offered services in Spanish and English. At first glance it appears that the registrar did not allow for a tranfer, did not renew the domain for the registrant, did not offer the auto-renew grace period services, and did not allow for a redemption grace period; instead the registrar allowed his reseller to put its own name in as registrant and promptly began utilizing a monetization service. It would really be great in anyone on the ALAC -- anyone -- could give some thought to this problem and post a solution to raa-consultation[at]icann.org. Registrants are begging for help... will anyone in the ALAC step forward to help them? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need a vacation?
