ICANN has introduced a new policy, which will come into effect as of 1 December 2016. With the aim of tackling abuse when transferring domain names. What is this all about?<\/span><\/p>\n

1. To what domain names does this policy apply?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The new policy applies to all gTLDs<\/b>, i. e. both traditional domain extensions, such as .com, .net or .biz, and new domain extensions, including .gent, .vlaanderen, .brussels, .guru, .shop, .xyz\u2026 (check out the list of available extensions<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

2. When will this policy come into effect?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The new policy will come into effect when you update the contact details of the domain holder or registrant. (first name and\/or last name of the person, name of the organisation, e-mail address of the domain holder) If the registrant\u2019s e-mail address is unknown, the e-mail address of the administrative contact is taken into account.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, this applies both when you update<\/b> the contact details of the existing <\/b>domain holder and when you transfer <\/b>a domain name to a new<\/b> registrant.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. How does this procedure work?<\/span><\/h2>\n

From now on, the registrar with which the domain was registered (e.g. Combell) will have to send an e-mail (\u201cForm of Authorization\u201d) to both the old and the new e-mail address<\/b>, asking them to approve this change.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the registrar receives approval from both the old and the new e-mail address, it must complete the change within one day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once the transfer is complete, the registrars must trigger a 60-day transfer lock<\/b>. During this period, the domain name cannot be transferred to another registrar. However, the registrant is allowed to ask his registrar (before the transfer) not to trigger this lock.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. What exactly does this mean?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you plan to change your contact details or transfer the domain name to another person, check your mailbox for a notification from noreply@europeanserver.com<\/span><\/a> and make sure you send your approval as quickly as possible. When you transfer your domain name, you should also inform the new registrant that he will receive this e-mail and that he should answer it immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n
