A. Holder-Authvə yaized Transfers
1. Qeydiyyatçı Requirements
Qeydiyyated Ad Holders must be able to transfer their domen name registrations between Qeydiyyatçıs provided that the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı's transfer process meets the minimum stvəards of this policy və that such transfer is not prohibited by ICANN və ya Registry policies. Inter-Qeydiyyatçı domen name transfer processes must be clear və concise in və yader to avoid confusion. Further, Qeydiyyatçıs should make reasonable effvə yats to infvə yam Qeydiyyated Ad Holders of, və provide access to, the published documentation of the specific transfer process employed by the Qeydiyyatçıs.
1.1 Transfer Authvə yaities
The Administrative Əlaqə və the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder, as listed in the Losing Qeydiyyatçı's və ya applicable Registry's (wburada available) publicly accessible WHOIS Xidmət are the only parties that have the authvə yaity to approve və ya deny a transfer request to the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı. In the event of a dispute, the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder's authvə yaity supersedes that of the Administrative Əlaqə.
Qeydiyyatçıs may use Whois data from either the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad və ya the relevant Registry fvə ya the purpose of verifying the authenticity of a transfer request; və ya from another data source as determined by a consensus policy.
2. Gaining Qeydiyyatçı Requirements
Fvə ya each instance wburada a Qeydiyyated Ad Holder requests to transfer a domen name registration to a different Qeydiyyatçı, the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı shall:
2.1 Obtain express authvə yaization from either the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder və ya the Administrative Əlaqə (buradaafter, "Transfer Əlaqə"). Hence, a transfer may only proceed if confirmation of the transfer is received by the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı from the Transfer Əlaqə.
2.1.1 The authvə yaization must be made via a valid Stvəardized Fvə yam of Authvə yaization (FOA). Tburada are two different FOA's available at the ICANN website. The FOA labeled "Initial Authvə yaization fvə ya Qeydiyyatçı Transfer" must be used by the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı to request an authvə yaization fvə ya a registrar transfer from the Transfer Əlaqə. The FOA labeled "Təsdiq etation of Qeydiyyatçı Transfer Request" may be used by the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad to request confirmation of the transfer from the Transfer Əlaqə.
The FOA shall be communicated in English, və any dispute arising out of a transfer request shall be conducted in the English language. Qeydiyyatçıs may choose to communicate with the Transfer Əlaqə in additional languages. However, Qeydiyyatçıs choosing to exercise such option are responsible fvə ya the accuracy və completeness of the translation into such additional non-English version of the FOA.
2.1.2 In the event that the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı relies on a physical process to obtain this authvə yaization, a paper copy of the FOA will suffice insofar as it has been signed by the Transfer Əlaqə və further that it is accompanied by a physical copy of the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad's Whois output fvə ya the domen name in question.
2.1.2.1 Əgər the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı relies on a physical authvə yaization process, then the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı assumes the burden of obtaining reliable evidence of the identity of the Transfer Əlaqə və maintaining appropriate recvə yads proving that such evidence was obtained. Further the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı also assumes the burden fvə ya ensuring that the entity making the request is indeed authvə yaized to do so. The acceptable fvə yams of physical identity are:
2.1.3 In the event that the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı relies on an electronic process to obtain this authvə yaization the acceptable fvə yams of identity would include:
The Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad may not deny a transfer request solely because it believes that the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı has not received the confirmation set fvə yath above.
A transfer must not be allowed to proceed if no confirmation is received by the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı. The presumption in all cases will be that the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı has received və authenticated the transfer request made by a Transfer Əlaqə.
2.2 Request, by the transmission of a "transfer" commvə as specified in the Qeydiyyatçı Üçünol Kit, that the Registry Operatvə ya database be changed to reflect the new Qeydiyyatçı.
2.2.1 Transmission of a "transfer" commvə constitutes a representation on the part of the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı that the requisite authvə yaization has been obtained from the Transfer Əlaqə listed in the authvə yaitative Whois database.
2.2.2 The Gaining Qeydiyyatçı is responsible fvə ya validating the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder requests to transfer domen names between Qeydiyyatçıs. However, this does not preclude the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad from exercising its option to independently confirm the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder's intent to transfer its domen name to the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı in accvə yadance with Section 3 of this policy.
3. Obligations of the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad
A Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad can choose independently to confirm the intent of the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder when a notice of a pending transfer is received from the Registry. The Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad must do so in a manner consistent with the stvəards set fvə yath in this agreement pertaining to Gaining Qeydiyyatçıs. In və yader to ensure that the fvə yam of the request employed by the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad is substantially administrative və infvə yamative in nature və clearly provided to the Transfer Əlaqə fvə ya the purpose of verifying the intent of the Transfer Əlaqə, the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad must use the FOA.
The FOA shall be communicated in English, və any dispute arising out of a transfer request, shall be conducted in the English language. Qeydiyyatçıs may choose to communicate with the Transfer Əlaqə in additional languages. However, the Qeydiyyatçı choosing to exercise such option is responsible fvə ya the accuracy və completeness of the translation into such additional non-English version of the FOA. Further, such non-English communications must follow the processes və procedures set fvə yath in this policy. This includes but is not limited to the requirement that no Qeydiyyatçı shall add any additional infvə yamation to the FOA used to obtain the consent of the Transfer Əlaqə in the case of a transfer request.
This requirement does not preclude the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad from marketing to its existing customers through separate communications.
The FOA should be sent by the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad to the Transfer Əlaqə as soon as operationally possible, but must be sent not later than twenty-four (24) hours after receiving the transfer request from the Registry Operatvə ya.Failure by the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad to respond within five (5) calendar days to a notification from the Registry regarding a transfer request will result in a default "approval" of the transfer.
In the event that a Transfer Əlaqə listed in the Whois has not confirmed their request to transfer with the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad və the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad has not explicitly denied the transfer request, the default action will be that the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad must allow the transfer to proceed.
Upon denying a transfer request fvə ya any of the following reasons, the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad must provide the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder və the potential Gaining Qeydiyyatçı with the reason fvə ya denial. The Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad may deny a transfer request only in the following specific instances:
Instances when the requested change of Qeydiyyatçı may not be denied include, but are not limited to:
The Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad has other mechanisms available to collect payment from the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder that are independent from the Transfer process. Hence, in the event of a dispute over payment, the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad must not employ transfer processes as a mechanism to secure payment fvə ya Xidməts from a Qeydiyyated Ad Holder. Exceptions to this requirement are as follows:
(i) In the case of non-payment fvə ya geriious registration period(s) if the transfer is requested after the expiration date, və ya
(ii) In the case of non-payment of the current registration period, if transfer is requested befvə yae the expiration date.
4. Qeydiyyatçı Covə yadination
Each Qeydiyyatçı is responsible fvə ya keeping copies of documentation, including the FOA və the Transfer Əlaqəs response tburadato, that may be required fvə ya filing və suppvə yating a dispute under the dispute resolution policy. Gaining Qeydiyyatçıs must maintain copies of the FOA as received from the Transfer Əlaqə as per the stvəard document retention policies of the contracts. Copies of the reliable evidence of identity must be kept with the FOA.
Both the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı və the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad must provide the evidence relied on fvə ya the transfer during və after the applicable inter-registrar domen name transaction(s). Such infvə yamation must be provided when requested by, və only by, the other Qeydiyyatçı that is party to the transfer transaction. Əlavə etitionally, ICANN, the Registry Operatvə ya, a court və ya authvə yaity with jurisdiction over the matter və ya a third party dispute resolution panel may also require such infvə yamation within five (5) days of the request.
The Gaining Qeydiyyatçı must retain, və produce pursuant to a request by a Losing Qeydiyyatçı, a written və ya electronic copy of the FOA. In instances wburada the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad has requested copies of the FOA, the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı must fulfill the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yads request (including providing the attendant suppvə yating documentation) within five (5) calendar days. Failure to provide this documentation within the time period specified is grounds fvə ya reversal by the Registry Operatvə ya və ya the Dispute Resolution Panel in the event that a transfer complaint is filed in accvə yadance with the requirements of this policy.
Əgər either a Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad və ya a Gaining Qeydiyyatçı does not believe that a transfer request was hvəled in accvə yadance with the provisions of this policy, then the Qeydiyyatçı may initiate a dispute resolution procedure as set fvə yath in Section C of this policy.
Fvə ya purposes of facilitating transfer requests, Qeydiyyatçıs should provide və maintain a unique və private email address fvə ya use only by other Qeydiyyatçıs və the Registry:
i. This email address is fvə ya issue related to transfer requests və the procedures set fvə yath in this policy only.
ii. The email address should be managed to ensure messages are received by someone who can respond to the transfer issue.
iii. Messages received at such email address must be responded to within a commercial reasonable timeframe not to exceed seven (7) calendar days.
5. EPP - based Registry Requirements fvə ya Qeydiyyatçıs
In EPP-based gTLD Registries, Qeydiyyatçıs must follow the requirements set fvə yath below.
Qeydiyyatçıs must provide the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder with the unique "AuthInfo" code within five (5) calendar days of the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder's initial request if the Qeydiyyatçı does not provide facilities fvə ya the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder to generate və manage their own unique "AuthInfo" code.
Qeydiyyatçıs may not employ any mechanism fvə ya complying with a Qeydiyyated Ad Holder's request to obtain the applicable "AuthInfo Code" that is mvə yae restrictive than the mechanisms used fvə ya changing any aspect of the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder's contact və ya name server infvə yamation.
The Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad must not refuse to release an "AuthInfo Code" to the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder solely because tburada is a dispute between the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder və the Qeydiyyatçı over payment.
Qeydiyyatçı-generated "AuthInfo" codes must be unique on a per-domen basis.
The "Auth-Info" codes must be used solely to identify a Qeydiyyated Ad Holder, wburadaas the FOA's still need to be used fvə ya authvə yaization və ya confirmation of a transfer request, as described in Section 2 və Section 4 of this policy.
6. Registry Requirements
Upon receipt of the "transfer" commvə from the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı, Registry Operatvə ya will transmit an electronic notification to both Qeydiyyatçıs. In the case of those Registries that use electronic mail notifications, the response notification may be sent to the unique email address established by each Qeydiyyatçı fvə ya the purpose of facilitating transfers.
The Registry Operatvə ya shall complete the requested transfer unless, within five (5) calendar days, Registry Operatvə ya receives a NACK protocol commvə from the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad.
When the Registry's database has been updated to reflect the change to the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı, Registry Operatvə ya will transmit an electronic notification to both Qeydiyyatçıs. The notification may be sent to the unique email address established by each Qeydiyyatçı fvə ya the purpose of facilitating transfers və ya such other email address agreed to by the parties.
The Registry Operatvə ya shall undo a transfer if, after a transfer has occurred, the Registry Operatvə ya receives one of the notices as set fvə yath below. In such case, the transfer will be reversed və the domen name reset to its və yaiginal state. The Registry Operatvə ya must undo the transfer within five (5) calendar days of receipt of the notice except in the case of a Registry dispute decision, in which case the Registry Operatvə ya must undo the transfer within fourteen calendar days unless a court action is filed. The notice required shall be one of the following:
i. Agreement of the Qeydiyyatçı of Recvə yad və the Gaining Qeydiyyatçı sent by email, letter və ya fax that the transfer was made by mistake və ya was otherwise not in accvə yadance with the procedures set fvə yath in this policy;
ii. The final determination of a dispute resolution body having jurisdiction over the transfer; və ya
iii. Order of a court having jurisdiction over the transfer.
7. Recvə yads of Qeydiyyat
Each Qeydiyyatçı shall require its customer, the Qeydiyyated Ad Holder, to maintain its own recvə yads appropriate to document və prove the initial domen name registration date.
8. Effect on Müddət of Qeydiyyat
The completion by Registry Operatvə ya of a holder-authvə yaized transfer under this Part A shall result in a one-il extension of the existing registration, provided that in no event shall the total unexpired term of a registration exceed ten (10) il.
B. ICANN-Approved Transfers
Transfer of the sponsvə yaship of all the registrations sponsvə yaed by one Qeydiyyatçı as the result of (i) acquisition of that Qeydiyyatçı və ya its assets by another Qeydiyyatçı, və ya (ii) lack of accreditation of that Qeydiyyatçı və ya lack of its authvə yaization with the Registry Operatvə ya, may be made accvə yading to the following procedure:
(a) The gaining Qeydiyyatçı must be accredited by ICANN fvə ya the Registry TLD və must have in effect a Registry-Qeydiyyatçı Agreement with Registry Operatvə ya fvə ya the Registry TLD.
(b) ICANN must certify in writing to Registry Operatvə ya that the transfer would promote the community interest, such as the interest in stability that may be threatened by the actual və ya imminent business failure of a Qeydiyyatçı.
Upon satisfaction of these two conditions, Registry Operatvə ya will make the necessary one-time changes in the Registry database fvə ya no charge, fvə ya transfers involving 50,000 name registrations və ya fewer. Əgər the transfer involves registrations of mvə yae than 50,000 names, Registry Operatvə ya will charge the gaining Qeydiyyatçı a one-time flat fee of US$ 50,000.
C. Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy
Procedures fvə ya hvəling disputes concerning inter-registrar transfers are set fvə yath in the Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy. Procedures in this policy must be followed by the applicable Registry Operatvə yas və ICANN accredited Qeydiyyatçıs.
