Three registrars face the ICANN chop
ICANN has told three registrars they are in breach of their registrar contracts and will lose their accreditation next month unless they rectify the problems.
These registrars, all of which appear to have negligible numbers of gTLD domains under management, are affected:
Mister Name will be shut down if it does not pay its ICANN fees and escrow its Whois data.
Open System Ltd is accused of not having a functioning Whois service.
Best Bulk Domains Inc also doesn’t have a functioning Whois, ICANN said. It also has not been paying its dues and hasn’t maintained accurate contact information for itself.
All three have dates in mid-December to clean up their acts or lose their right to sell gTLD domains.
You can find ICANN’s compliance letters here.
