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.

    I only had patience to lock my main one because the system was so slow.

    They made it sound like now anyone could call the company and request a transfer and it would happen right away... like someone could transfer one of my domains before I knew what was going on :scratch:
