It’s done, ICANN has finally pulled RegisterFly.com’s Registration Accreditation Agreement. From this point on, RF is not to use any reference to themselves as an ICANN accreditated registrar.

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.

That’s great that ICANN finally sees what thousands of customers have been complaining about. However, there are still many registrants who have lost domains or who do not have access to their current ones (me). How ICANN is going to support this issue has yet to be seen. I just want my domain away from Registerfly!
