ICANN, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, on Friday flipped the switch on a new URL transfer policy, which aims to simplify the way domain names can be moved between registrars.
ICANN, the nonprofit outfit that coordinates the assignment of TLDs (top-level domain names), said the new policy will simplify and standardize the domain transfer process to prevent abuse. “Similar to how telephone number portability works in many countries, enhanced domain name portability will provide for greater consumer and business choice, enabling domain-name registrants to select the registrar that offers the best services and price,” ICANN said in a statement.
