by Traverse Legal, reviewed by Enrico Schaefer - March 2, 2007 - Uncategorized

For those of you who don’t know, RegisterFly is an ICANN accredited registrar which has tumbled into chaos.  The two owners have been fighting including in court.  One owner turned off the website for a period of time last Monday.  Registrants are scrambling to move their domains off of RegisterFly.  For more information, check out the Traverse Legal Cybersquatting blog here.

[update] ICANN has really turned up the heat on Registerfly in what is turning out to be a huge test for ICANN’s enforcement and accreditation standards.  This is the first registrar to melt down in full public view, placings tens of thousands of domain names at risk.  Learn more at the registerfly investigation page here.
