Registrar threatened with ICANN shutdown
ICANN has given scandal-hit domain name registrar Registerfly.com 15 days to sort its problems out or risk losing its license to sell domains.
The organization, which oversees the domain name system's policies and practices, sent a letter with the ultimatum to New Jersey-based Registerfly yesterday, and published it on its own web site.
âIt's a rare move for us to send a letter that indicates that we will consider terminating the agreement,â said ICANN vice president Paul Levins.
The move came after several weeks of angst from Registerfly's customers, many of which claim to have lost their domains or to have been overcharged for names that they ultimately lost anyway.
ICANN also sent a separate letter, which has not been published, demanding that Registerfly make all its data available for inspection and copying no later than 10am Friday, according to Levins.
