Bulk Transfer of OOO Russian Registrar and BP Holdings Group Inc. (dba IS.COM) Domains to Name.com LLC

23 December 2009

ICANN has authorized a bulk transfer of OOO Russian Registrar's and BP Holdings Group Inc.'s (dba IS.COM) gTLD domain names to Name.com LLC, due to compliance actions taken by ICANN that resulted in the de-accreditation of two registrars: OOO Russian Registrar and BP Holdings Group Inc.

The gTLD registries that have registered OOO Russian Registrar's and BP Holdings Group Inc.'s domain names have taken steps to effect the bulk transfers. Former registrant-customers of OOO Russian Registrar and BP Holdings Group Inc. should soon receive notices of the transfer from Name.com LLC. Customer questions about the transfer should be directed to Name.com LLC. Contact and additional information about this bulk transfer of OOO Russian Registrar's and BP Holdings Group Inc.'s domain names are provided below.

FAQs

Q. Why were these transfers authorized by ICANN?

A. OOO Russian Registrar's Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) was terminated by ICANN because of OOO Russian Registrar's failure to comply with the requirements of the RAA. (The notice of termination is posted at http://www.icann.org/correspondence/burnette-to-petrov-25nov09-en.pdf [PDF, 56K]). As a result, OOO Russian Registrar is no longer permitted to register or manage gTLD registrations.

BP Holdings Group Inc.'s Registrar Accreditation Agreement (RAA) was terminated by ICANN because of BP Holdings Group Inc.'s failure to comply with the requirements of the RAA. (The notice of termination is posted at http://www.icann.org/correspondence/burnette-to-bahlitzanakis-09oct09-en.pdf [PDF, 201K]). As a result, BP Holdings Group Inc. is no longer permitted to register or manage gTLD registrations.

Q. How was the gaining registrar selected?

A. In accordance with ICANN's De-Accredited Registrar Transition Procedure (see http://www.icann.org/en/processes/registrars/de-accredited-registrar-transition-procedure-01oct08.pdf [PDF, 119K]), on 30 November 2009, ICANN initiated a Request for Expressions of Interest to identify a new ICANN-accredited registrar to manage the registrations formerly managed by OOO Russian Registrar and BP Holdings Group Inc. ICANN received 7 expressions of interest from registrars in response to the RFI. Through the procedure, ICANN selected Name.com LLC to receive the bulk transfers from OOO Russian Registrar and BP Holdings Group Inc.

Q. Will Name.com LLC attempt to contact the affected registrants? What should current/former OOO Russian Registrar's and BP Holdings Group customers do?

A. Former customers of OOO Russian Registrar and BP Holdings Group Inc. should receive a notice of the transfer and instructions for continued management of their names from Name.com LLC.

Web: http://www.name.com

Q. Do registrants have to pay a fee for the bulk transfer?

A. No, there is no cost to registrants for the bulk transfer. Unlike a normal inter-registrar transfer, the registration terms will not be extended by a year. Accordingly, it is important to contact Name.com if your registration will expire soon in order to maintain your registration.

Q. Why do former OOO Russian Registrar and BP Holdings Group customers need to contact Name.com LLC?

A. OOO Russian Registrar and BP Holdings Group did not forward billing information to Name.com LLC. Accordingly, all registrants must provide updated billing information or transfer their names to other registrars.

Q. What if former OOO Russian Registrar and BP Holdings Group customers want to use a different registrar?

A. Registrants will continue to be able to transfer their registrations to other registrars under the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (see http://www.icann.org/en/transfers). Note that Name.com LLC may deny transfers for the first 60 days following the bulk transfer, at Name.com LLC's discretion. This 60-day period is permissible under the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy, and is intended to help protect registrants. The registrant should renew names that will expire during the first 60 days following the transfer to Name.com LLC by contacting Name.com at:

Telephone: 720-249-2374

Email: support@name.com

Web: http://www.name.com
