Domains Transferred to eNom</span></h2>
<p style="margin-top:11.25pt;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:
0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">23
February 2010</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">An estimated 22 domain names
previously sponsored by registrar CodyCorp.com Inc. have been transferred to
ICANN-accredited registrar eNom, Inc. following the termination of CodyCorp's
registrar accreditation agreement. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Customers of CodyCorp should
contact eNom for continued management of their names. There will be no cost to
the registrants for this transfer. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">CodyCorp’s accreditation
expired and was not renewed by ICANN due to multiple uncured breaches of its
accreditation agreement, which are described at <a href="http://www.icann.org/correspondence/burnette-to-bahlitzanakis-24dec09.htm.pdf">http://www.icann.org/correspondence/burnette-to-bahlitzanakis-24dec09.htm.pdf</a>
[PDF, 53 KB]. ICANN initiated the <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/processes/registrars/de-accredited-registrar-transition-procedure-01oct08.pdf">De-Accredited
Registrar Transition Procedure</a> [PDF, 119 KB] to identify a gaining
registrar to receive a bulk transfer of the names formerly managed by CodyCorp.
As part of that process, CodyCorp proposed that eNom be selected as gaining
registrar. ICANN approved the proposed bulk transfer. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Registrants with names
registered through CodyCorp should contact eNom for customer service. Contact
details for eNom can be found at <a href="http://www.internic.net/registrars/registrar-48.html">http://www.internic.net/registrars/registrar-48.html</a>.
Below are answers to some common questions regarding the bulk transfer. </span></p>
<p class="title"><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Q&A </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Q. Why did ICANN
authorize the bulk transfer?</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">A. CodyCorp’s Registrar
Accreditation Agreement (RAA) expired and was not renewed by ICANN due to RAA
compliance issues. As a result, CodyCorp is no longer permitted to register or
manage gTLD registrations. In order to protect the customers of CodyCorp, ICANN
initiated the De-Accredited Registrar Transition Procedure (posted at <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/processes/registrars/de-accredited-registrar-transition-procedure-01oct08.pdf">http://www.icann.org/en/processes/registrars/de-accredited-registrar-transition-procedure-01oct08.pdf</a>
[PDF, 53 KB]) and determined that this bulk transfer would promote the
community interest. </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Q. What should
current/former CodyCorp customers do?</span></strong><span style="font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif""></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">A. Registrants should contact
eNom as soon as possible to begin managing their names and to avoid any
unintended non-renewal of their domains. </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Q. Do registrants
have to pay a fee for the bulk transfer?</span></strong><span style="font-family:
"Arial","sans-serif""></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">A. No, there is no cost to
registrants for the bulk transfer. Unlike a normal inter-registrar transfer,
the length of registration terms will not be extended by a year. Accordingly,
it is important to contact eNom if your registration will expire soon in order
to maintain your registration. </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Q. What if former
CodyCorp customers want to use a different registrar?</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif""></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">A. Registrants may be able to
transfer their registrations to other registrars under the Inter-Registrar
Transfer Policy (see <a href="http://www.icann.org/en/transfers/">http://www.icann.org/en/transfers/</a>)
after establishing their accounts with eNom. Note that eNom may deny transfers
for the first 60 days following the bulk transfer, at eNom's discretion. This
60-day period is permissible under the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy, and is
intended to help protect registrants. Names that will expire during the first
60 days following the transfer to eNom should be renewed by the registrant by
contacting eNom using the contact information available at: <a href="http://www.internic.net/registrars/registrar-48.html">http://www.internic.net/registrars/registrar-48.html</a>.
