Last Monday, the RegisterFly.com site went offline while Naruzewicz transferred the domain to Tucows and moved the site from Sago Networks (under accounting firm, Hevia, Beagles) to The Planet. The RegisterFly.net site remained online and available at Sago Networks. 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. On Saturday, ICANN reported on its blog that it had met with Medina and insisted on immediate action on several serious problems.

“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,” ICANN stated. “ICANN has told RegisterFly to correct this problem and report back. 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.”

ICANN also reported that RegisterFly promised to make it easier for customers who bought resold eNom domains to transfer those names to eNom. ICANN staff is actively monitoring the operation of RegisteFly’s systems and its response to specific transfer problems.
