Expressions of Interest Sought for Bulk Transfer of Registrations

12 October 2009

As the result of the Notice of Non-Renewal issued on October 9, 2009 to registrar Mouzz Interactive, Inc. (IANA ID 827), ICANN is seeking expressions of interest from ICANN-accredited registrars that might wish to assume sponsorship of the gTLD names that were previously managed by this registrar. This request for expressions of interest is made pursuant to the De-Accredited Registrar Transition Procedure posted at http://www.icann.org/processes/registrars/de-accredited-registrar-transition-procedure-01oct08.pdf [PDF, 119K].

The registrar subject to non-renewal of accreditation managed approximately 800 to 1,000 registrations in com, info, org and net. Escrowed registration data is available in the form of csv files.

ICANN-accredited registrars who wish to be considered as potential recipients of the bulk transfer should be in good standing with regard to all ICANN-obligations and submit an Expression of Interest, using the form available at http://www.icann.org/en/processes/registrars/eoi-bulk-transfer-mouzz-12oct09-en.doc [DOC, 37K], by no later than 23:00 UTC on Monday, 19 October 2009.

ICANN reserves the right to entertain any or none of the statements of interest submitted in response to this request and to select or approve a bulk-transfer recipient outside this process.

Registrar questions and submissions should be submitted by email to RegTransition@icann.org Customers of the de-accredited registrars should refer to ICANN's posted Compliance Notice of Expiration and Non-renewal / Registrant FAQs.
