Yesterday ICANN made an announcement on their site as follows: A deal will be announced later today that it is hoped will
finally put an end to the situation where people are unable to get at
their RegisterFly domains. An announcement is being prepared as we
speak. ICANN still has a contempt order against RegisterFly for failing to follow the terms of the preliminary injunction.
This is the big question. Although I wish there was an easy answer to provide for everyone following this domain system failure, it's just not that simple. After careful review of the situation, I'm led to believe that ICANN is doing everything they can to get this situation under control. Although we all wish things would move along a little faster, this has turned out to be a very difficult and involved fiasco.
ICANN granted the right to act on transfers as
soon as possible; plan in action
Marina del Rey, CA: Under a preliminary injunction issued
yesterday by US Federal Court Judge, Manuel J. Real, ICANN now has the right
to terminate RegisterFly’s accreditation as soon as possible. The provision
to ICANN of current and accurate data for all of RegisterFly’s domain
names has also been ordered by the Court as RegisterFly failed to meet the
conditions of a temporary restraining order (TRO) which the Court issued on
April 16, 2007.
