[council] Looking for information how to change Registrar
NC Colleagues,
I am a Registrant for some domain names I hold under .com/.net/.org.
I intend to change my current Registrar to a new one.
Could you point me, please, to an URL (presumably ICANN
or Internic) where a Registrant can get explanation of rules
for changing Registrar ?
Assume that my domain name expires on 1 May 2003.
1. When can I ask for transfer and be sure it happens and
my transfer is not locked ? (and I do not pay twice)
2. Is it true that Registrars can apply a rule of 45 or 60 days
to lock a transfer and if yes what is the reason for that
number of days ? (I was told these delays are related to
the US banks rules for credit cards and has nothing to do
with domain names registration).
3. Assume I give an order for transfer to a Registrar A today,
2 September 2002. Is it possible (from rules point of view)
that my request be executed in such a way that the day
of expiration does not change (it remains 1 May, the year
will change of course) ?
4. The ICANN faq http://www.icann.org/general/faq1.htm indicates:
When do I have to pay for my domain name?
Before your domain name becomes active, you must provide
a credit card number or other reasonable assurance of payment.
What are other means of payment (besides credit card) ?
Do you know if Registrars accept automated bank payment
(every year at expiration date) ?
It is a basic payment service provided by all service suppliers
in France (water, electricity, land and cell telephones, Internet
access, private schools, ...), used by 60 million people, no bank
fees charged to customers.
5. As a Registrant (user), and old timer, I used to NIC-handle
facility to manage my IP addresses and my domain names.
I would like to have control over my NIC-handle(s), i.e.
- to have it at least unique within one TLD accross Registrars
(or within IP Registry), i.e. Registrar independent
- to be able to update my NIC-handle information (user information)
and be sure it is done in one shot at least within one TLD
accross Registrars space (or within IP Registry);
it means that all domain names related to my NIC-handle
get updated in one shot
- to be able to query a NIC-handle database by NIC-handle
(with my password) and get full status information for all domain
names I may have under one TLD, with expiration dates,
name servers, contracts etc.
I believe that without means given to Registrant (user) to
facilitate his management, the wishes to have whois information
up to date are just hopeless.
6. Do I have a guarantee that my current Registrar is obligated
by rule to erase my name from his records the day I am no longer
his customer ?
Best regards,
Elisabeth
