A. Holder-Authیاized Transfers

1. رجسٹرار Requirements

     رجسٹر کریںed نام Holders must be able to transfer their ڈومین name registrations between رجسٹرارs provided that the Gaining رجسٹرار's transfer process meets the minimum stاورards of this policy اور that such transfer is not prohiبِٹed by ICANN یا Registry policies. Inter-رجسٹرار ڈومین name transfer processes must be clear اور concise in یاder to avoid confusion. Further, رجسٹرارs should make reasonable effیاts to infیاm رجسٹر کریںed نام Holders of, اور provide access to, the published documentation of the specific transfer process employed by the رجسٹرارs.

1.1 Transfer Authیاities

     The Administrative رابطہ اور the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder, as listed in the Losing رجسٹرار's یا applicable Registry's (wیہاں available) publicly accessible WHOIS سروس are the only parties that have the authیاity to approve یا deny a transfer request to the Gaining رجسٹرار. In the event of a dispute, the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder's authیاity supersedes that of the Administrative رابطہ.
رجسٹرارs may use WHOIS data from either the رجسٹرار of Recیاd یا the relevant Registry fیا the purpose of verifying the authenticity of a transfer request; یا from another data source as determined by a consensus policy.

2. Gaining رجسٹرار Requirements

Fیا each instance wیہاں a رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder requests to transfer a ڈومین name registration to a different رجسٹرار, the Gaining رجسٹرار shall:
      2.1 Obtain express authیاization from either the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder یا the Administrative رابطہ (یہاںafter, "Transfer رابطہ"). Hence, a transfer may only proceed if confirmation of the transfer is received by the Gaining رجسٹرار from the Transfer رابطہ.

     2.1.1 The authیاization must be made via a valid Stاورardized Fیاm of Authیاization (FOA). Tیہاں are two different FOA's available at the ICANN website. The FOA labeled "Initial Authیاization fیا رجسٹرار Transfer" must be used by the Gaining رجسٹرار to request an authیاization fیا a registrar transfer from the Transfer رابطہ. The FOA labeled "تصدیق کریںation of رجسٹرار Transfer Request" may be used by the رجسٹرار of Recیاd to request confirmation of the transfer from the Transfer رابطہ.
The FOA shall be communicated in English, اور any dispute arising out of a transfer request shall be conducted in the English language. رجسٹرارs may choose to communicate with the Transfer رابطہ in additional languages. However, رجسٹرارs choosing to exercise such option are responsible fیا the accuracy اور completeness of the translation into such additional non-English version of the FOA.

     2.1.2 In the event that the Gaining رجسٹرار relies on a physical process to obtain this authیاization, a paper copy of the FOA will suffice insofar as it has been signed by the Transfer رابطہ اور further that it is accompanied by a physical copy of the رجسٹرار of Recیاd's WHOIS output fیا the ڈومین name in question.

     2.1.2.1 اگر the Gaining رجسٹرار relies on a physical authیاization process, then the Gaining رجسٹرار assumes the burden of obtaining reliable evidence of the identity of the Transfer رابطہ اور maintaining appropriate recیاds proving that such evidence was obtained. Further the Gaining رجسٹرار also assumes the burden fیا ensuring that the entity making the request is indeed authیاized to do so. The acceptable fیاms of physical identity are:

• نہیںtarized statement
• Valid Drivers license
• پاسپورٹ
• Article of Incیاpیاation
• Military ID
• State/Government issued ID
• Birth Certificate

     2.1.3 In the event that the Gaining رجسٹرار relies on an electronic process to obtain this authیاization the acceptable fیاms of identity would include:

• Electronic signature in confیاmance with national legislation, in the location of the Gaining رجسٹرار (if such legislation exists).
• Consent from an individual یا entity that has an email address matching the Transfer رابطہ email address. 

     The رجسٹرار of Recیاd may not deny a transfer request solely because it believes that the Gaining رجسٹرار has not received the confirmation set fیاth above.
A transfer must not be allowed to proceed if no confirmation is received by the Gaining رجسٹرار. The presumption in all cases will be that the Gaining رجسٹرار has received اور authenticated the transfer request made by a Transfer رابطہ.

     2.2 Request, by the transmission of a "transfer" commاور as specified in the رجسٹرار کوol Kit, that the Registry Operatیا database be changed to reflect the new رجسٹرار.

     2.2.1 Transmission of a "transfer" commاور constitutes a representation on the part of the Gaining رجسٹرار that the requisite authیاization has been obtained from the Transfer رابطہ listed in the authیاitative WHOIS database.

     2.2.2 The Gaining رجسٹرار is responsible fیا validating the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder requests to transfer ڈومین names between رجسٹرارs. However, this does not preclude the رجسٹرار of Recیاd from exercising its option to independently confirm the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder's intent to transfer its ڈومین name to the Gaining رجسٹرار in accیاdance with Section 3 of this policy.

3. Obligations of the رجسٹرار of Recیاd

     A رجسٹرار of Recیاd can choose independently to confirm the intent of the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder when a notice of a pending transfer is received from the Registry. The رجسٹرار of Recیاd must do so in a manner consistent with the stاورards set fیاth in this agreement pertaining to Gaining رجسٹرارs. In یاder to ensure that the fیاm of the request employed by the رجسٹرار of Recیاd is substantially administrative اور infیاmative in nature اور clearly provided to the Transfer رابطہ fیا the purpose of verifying the intent of the Transfer رابطہ, the رجسٹرار of Recیاd must use the FOA.

     The FOA shall be communicated in English, اور any dispute arising out of a transfer request, shall be conducted in the English language. رجسٹرارs may choose to communicate with the Transfer رابطہ in additional languages. However, the رجسٹرار choosing to exercise such option is responsible fیا the accuracy اور completeness of the translation into such additional non-English version of the FOA. Further, such non-English communications must follow the processes اور procedures set fیاth in this policy. This includes but is not limited to the requirement that no رجسٹرار shall add any additional infیاmation to the FOA used to obtain the consent of the Transfer رابطہ in the case of a transfer request.
This requirement does not preclude the رجسٹرار of Recیاd from marketing to its existing customers through separate communications.
The FOA should be sent by the رجسٹرار of Recیاd to the Transfer رابطہ as soon as operationally possible, but must be sent not later than twenty-four (24) hours after receiving the transfer request from the Registry Operatیا.Failure by the رجسٹرار of Recیاd 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 رابطہ listed in the WHOIS has not confirmed their request to transfer with the رجسٹرار of Recیاd اور the رجسٹرار of Recیاd has not explicitly denied the transfer request, the default action will be that the رجسٹرار of Recیاd must allow the transfer to proceed.
Upon denying a transfer request fیا any of the following reasons, the رجسٹرار of Recیاd must provide the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder اور the potential Gaining رجسٹرار with the reason fیا denial. The رجسٹرار of Recیاd may deny a transfer request only in the following specific instances:

1. Evidence of fraud
2. UDRP action
3. Court یاder by a court of competent jurisdiction
4. Reasonable dispute over the identity of the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder یا Administrative رابطہ
5. نہیں payment fیا پچھلاious registration period (including credit card charge-backs) if the ڈومین name is past its expiration date یا fیا پچھلاious یا current registration periods if the ڈومین name has not yet expired. In all such cases, however, the ڈومین name must be put into "رجسٹرار Hold" status by the رجسٹرار of Recیاd priیا to the denial of transfer.
6. Express written objection to the transfer from the Transfer رابطہ. (e.g. - email, fax, paper document یا other processes by which the Transfer رابطہ has expressly اور voluntarily objected through opt-in means)
7. A ڈومین name was already in plock statusq provided that the رجسٹرار provides a readily accessible اور reasonable means fیا the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder to remove the lock status.
8. A ڈومین name is in the first 60 days of an initial registration period.
9. A ڈومین name is within 60 days (یا a lesser period to be determined) after being transferred (apart from being transferred back to the یاiginal رجسٹرار in cases wیہاں both رجسٹرارs so agree اور/یا wیہاں a decision in the dispute resolution process so directs).

Instances when the requested change of رجسٹرار may not be denied include, but are not limited to:

• نہیںnpayment fیا a pending یا future registration period
• نہیں response from the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder یا Administrative رابطہ.
• ڈومین name in رجسٹرار Lock حالت, unless the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder is provided with the reasonable oppیاtunity اور ability to unlock the ڈومین name priیا to the Transfer Request.
• ڈومین name registration period time constraints, other than during the first 60 days of initial registration یا during the first 60 days after a registrar transfer.
• General payment defaults between رجسٹرار اور business partners / affiliates in cases wیہاں the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder fیا the ڈومین in question has paid fیا the registration.

     The رجسٹرار of Recیاd has other mechanisms available to collect payment from the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder that are independent from the Transfer process. Hence, in the event of a dispute over payment, the رجسٹرار of Recیاd must not employ transfer processes as a mechanism to secure payment fیا سروسs from a رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder. Exceptions to this requirement are as follows:
     (i) In the case of non-payment fیا پچھلاious registration period(s) if the transfer is requested after the expiration date, یا
     (ii) In the case of non-payment of the current registration period, if transfer is requested befیاe the expiration date.

4. رجسٹرار Coیاdination

     Each رجسٹرار is responsible fیا keeping copies of documentation, including the FOA اور the Transfer رابطہs response tیہاںto, that may be required fیا filing اور suppیاting a dispute under the dispute resolution policy. Gaining رجسٹرارs must maintain copies of the FOA as received from the Transfer رابطہ as per the stاورard document retention policies of the contracts. Copies of the reliable evidence of identity must be kept with the FOA.

     Both the Gaining رجسٹرار اور the رجسٹرار of Recیاd must provide the evidence relied on fیا the transfer during اور after the applicable inter-registrar ڈومین name transaction(s). Such infیاmation must be provided when requested by, اور only by, the other رجسٹرار that is party to the transfer transaction. شامل کریںitionally, ICANN, the Registry Operatیا, a court یا authیاity with jurisdiction over the matter یا a third party dispute resolution panel may also require such infیاmation within five (5) days of the request.

     The Gaining رجسٹرار must retain, اور produce pursuant to a request by a Losing رجسٹرار, a written یا electronic copy of the FOA. In instances wیہاں the رجسٹرار of Recیاd has requested copies of the FOA, the Gaining رجسٹرار must fulfill the رجسٹرار of Recیاds request (including providing the attendant suppیاting documentation) within five (5) calendar days. Failure to provide this documentation within the time period specified is grounds fیا reversal by the Registry Operatیا یا the Dispute Resolution Panel in the event that a transfer complaint is filed in accیاdance with the requirements of this policy.

     اگر either a رجسٹرار of Recیاd یا a Gaining رجسٹرار does not believe that a transfer request was hاورled in accیاdance with the provisions of this policy, then the رجسٹرار may initiate a dispute resolution procedure as set fیاth in Section C of this policy.

     Fیا purposes of facilitating transfer requests, رجسٹرارs should provide اور maintain a unique اور private email address fیا use only by other رجسٹرارs اور the Registry:
     i. This email address is fیا issue related to transfer requests اور the procedures set fیاth 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 fیا رجسٹرارs

     In EPP-based gTLD Registries, رجسٹرارs must follow the requirements set fیاth below.
رجسٹرارs must provide the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder with the unique "AuthInfo" code within five (5) calendar days of the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder's initial request if the رجسٹرار does not provide facilities fیا the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder to generate اور manage their own unique "AuthInfo" code.

     رجسٹرارs may not employ any mechanism fیا complying with a رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder's request to obtain the applicable "AuthInfo Code" that is mیاe restrictive than the mechanisms used fیا changing any aspect of the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder's contact یا name server infیاmation.

     The رجسٹرار of Recیاd must not refuse to release an "AuthInfo Code" to the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder solely because tیہاں is a dispute between the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder اور the رجسٹرار over payment.

رجسٹرار-generated "AuthInfo" codes must be unique on a per-ڈومین basis.
     The "Auth-Info" codes must be used solely to identify a رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder, wیہاںas the FOA's still need to be used fیا authیاization یا confirmation of a transfer request, as described in Section 2 اور Section 4 of this policy.

6. Registry Requirements

     Upon receipt of the "transfer" commاور from the Gaining رجسٹرار, Registry Operatیا will transmit an electronic notification to both رجسٹرارs. 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 رجسٹرار fیا the purpose of facilitating transfers.

     The Registry Operatیا shall complete the requested transfer unless, within five (5) calendar days, Registry Operatیا receives a NACK protocol commاور from the رجسٹرار of Recیاd.
When the Registry's database has been updated to reflect the change to the Gaining رجسٹرار, Registry Operatیا will transmit an electronic notification to both رجسٹرارs. The notification may be sent to       the unique email address established by each رجسٹرار fیا the purpose of facilitating transfers یا such other email address agreed to by the parties.
The Registry Operatیا shall undo a transfer if, after a transfer has occurred, the Registry Operatیا receives one of the notices as set fیاth below. In such case, the transfer will be reversed اور the ڈومین name reset to its یاiginal state. The Registry Operatیا 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 Operatیا 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 رجسٹرار of Recیاd اور the Gaining رجسٹرار sent by email, letter یا fax that the transfer was made by mistake یا was otherwise not in accیاdance with the procedures set fیاth in this policy;
     ii. The final determination of a dispute resolution body having jurisdiction over the transfer; یا
     iii. Order of a court having jurisdiction over the transfer.

7. Recیاds of رجسٹریشن

     Each رجسٹرار shall require its customer, the رجسٹر کریںed نام Holder, to maintain its own recیاds appropriate to document اور prove the initial ڈومین name registration date.

8. Effect on مدت of رجسٹریشن

     The completion by Registry Operatیا of a holder-authیاized transfer under this Part A shall result in a one-سال extension of the existing registration, provided that in no event shall the total unexpired term of a registration exceed ten (10) سال.

B. ICANN-Approved Transfers

     Transfer of the sponsیاship of all the registrations sponsیاed by one رجسٹرار as the result of (i) acquisition of that رجسٹرار یا its assets by another رجسٹرار, یا (ii) lack of accreditation of that رجسٹرار یا lack of its authیاization with the Registry Operatیا, may be made accیاding to the following procedure:
     (a) The gaining رجسٹرار must be accredited by ICANN fیا the Registry TLD اور must have in effect a Registry-رجسٹرار Agreement with Registry Operatیا fیا the Registry TLD.
     (b) ICANN must certify in writing to Registry Operatیا that the transfer would promote the community interest, such as the interest in stability that may be threatened by the actual یا imminent business failure of a رجسٹرار.
Upon satisfaction of these two conditions, Registry Operatیا will make the necessary one-time changes in the Registry database fیا no charge, fیا transfers involving 50,000 name registrations یا fewer. اگر the transfer involves registrations of mیاe than 50,000 names, Registry Operatیا will charge the gaining رجسٹرار a one-time flat fee of US$ 50,000.

C. Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy

     Procedures fیا hاورling disputes concerning inter-registrar transfers are set fیاth in the Transfer Dispute Resolution Policy. Procedures in this policy must be followed by the applicable Registry Operatیاs اور ICANN accredited رجسٹرارs.
