📅 - In light of domain registrar RegisterFly's (registerfly.com) action through the last couple of weeks, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (icann.org) recently met with re-instated company CEO Kevin Medina to demand immediate action on RegisterFly's failure to provide adequate WHOIS information and make critical transfer codes available to customers, reports Netcraft (netcraft.com).
According to reports, ICANN's task has been complicated by the fact that there are currently two RegisterFly Web sites running on different infrastructures, RegisterFly.com at Web hosting provider The Planet and Registerfly.net at Sago Networks. Netcraft says the two Web sites are a result of the disagreeable split between Medina and business partner John Naruzewicz, who claimed that he owned 50 percent of RegisterFly and says the board had fired Medina.
Last Monday, the RegisterFly.com site went offline while Naruzewicz transferred the domain to Tucows and moved the site from Sago Networks to The Planet. The RegisterFly.net site remained online and available at Sago Networks. Netcraft says ICANN has twice notified RegisterFly of breaches of its registrar agreement with ICANN and threatened the company with loss of accreditation if the breaches were not addressed within 15 days.
"Presently, the RegisterFly Whois server provides no registrant, administrative contact, technical contact, or other registrar-level Whois data, but instead reports only registry-level data," says ICANN. "The failure by RegisterFly to provide Whois service effectively prohibits all registrants of .com and .net names from transferring out, so this needs to be RegisterFly's highest priority in order to protect the interests of registrants. This must be corrected immediately."
The strange saga of Registerfly recently took a surprising turn when a US district court judge ruled to hand control of the company back to ousted CEO Kevin Medina.
