http://www.come4news.com/domain-names-the-saga-continue-249117.html "This is actually chapter 3 in the domain name saga, the Domain registrars fight back and play dirty. So the ICANN people got involved and forced my registrar (Network solutions) to unblock my domain name and make them ready for transfer. So I was ready to finish the operation when an e-mail from "Network solutions arrived" and suddenly the price for renewal is not $ 34 a year but $ 15 a year. For me it was too late and I started the process, but before that I was required to modify my whois contact details. So I did it, got the confirmation and continued the process. I got all the confirmations I needed, but then an e-mail from Network solutions arrived again saying that because I modifyed my contact details I cannot transfer the domain for 2 months now !!! 2 months ? that force me actually to renew the domain within Network solutions again. and... surprise, surprise 5 minutes later a mail from Network solutions arrived and says that I can renew my domain name for... $ 34 again." Last September, ICANN put out an advisory entitled " Notice of Intent to Issue Advisory Regarding the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy" at http://icann.org/announcements/announcement-19sep07.htm Public comments were received (all in favor of the advisory, except for one that came from Network Solutions), and then ICANN proceeded to do... nothing. Obviously, the problem persists and still ICANN does nothing. Perhaps Staff can offer a suitable explanation as to why there has been no follow-through. For domain name registrants, these continuing abuses are just not acceptable. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
