RegisterFly Update
A federal court in New Jersey on Thursday awarded Kevin Medina control of domain name registrar RegisterFly. The ruling resolved a dispute over ownership of the company but did not lessen pressure from the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers to fix breaches of its accreditation agreement.
The firm, which administers about 2 million domain names, faced criticism after users were unable to transfer their domain names away from RegisterFly to another registrar, ICANN said. The organization is awaiting a meeting with the company's executives to resolve the reported failures.
Earlier this week, ICANN obtained registrant data from RegisterFly but a substantial portion of the records consist of privacy-protected accounts. ICANN has asked RegisterFly how that information can be maintained in the event that RegisterFly loses its accreditation.
Update: In other ICANN news, a fact sheet concerning a February attack on the system that underpins the Internet is now available. The document is intended to "provide an explanation of the attack for a non-technical audience in the hope of enlarging public understanding surrounding this and related issues."
