<p class=title><span lang=EN-US>Expressions of Interest Sought for Bulk
Transfer of Registrations<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=docdate>17 July 2009<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>As the result of the recent de-accreditation of registrar
Lead Networks Domains Pvt. Ltd. ("Lead Networks"), ICANN is seeking
expressions of interest from ICANN-accredited registrars that might wish to
assume sponsorship of the gTLD names that were previously managed by Lead
Networks. This request for expressions of interest is made pursuant to the
De-Accredited Registrar Transition Procedure posted at </span><a
href="http://icann.org/processes/registrars/de-accredited-registrar-transition-procedure-01oct08.pdf"><span
lang=EN-US>http://www.icann.org/processes/registrars/de-accredited-registrar-transition-procedure-01oct08.pdf</span></a><span
lang=EN-US>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>The de-accredited registrar managed approximately 70-80,000
registrations in dot-com and dot-net, and was accredited in no other gTLDs.
Escrowed registration data is available for the sponsored registrations and is
believed to be complete (including registrant, administrative, technical, and
billing contact data, as well as nameservers and expiration dates).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>ICANN-accredited registrars who wish to be considered as
potential recipients of the bulk transfer should be in good standing with
regard to all ICANN-obligations and submit an Expression of Interest, using the
form available at </span><a
href="http://icann.org/en/processes/registrars/eoi-bulk-transfer-lead-17jul09-en.doc"><span
lang=EN-US>http://www.icann.org/en/processes/registrars/eoi-bulk-transfer-lead-17jul09-en.doc</span></a><span
lang=EN-US> [DOC, 37K], by <strong>no later than 23:00 UTC on Thursday, 23 July
2009</strong>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>ICANN reserves the right to entertain any or none of the
statements of interest submitted in response to this request and to select or
approve a bulk-transfer recipient outside this process.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span lang=EN-US>Registrar questions and submissions should be submitted by
email to </span><a href="mailto:mike.zupke@icann.org"><span lang=EN-US>mike.zupke@icann.org</span></a><span
