<p class="MsoPlainText">Dear Working Group Members, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">On request to NORID - the .NO Registry Operator, I have received the following numbers for inter-registrar transfers;<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">2017: 156 270<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">2018: 149 835<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">2019: 152 558<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">2020: 167 688<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">2021 per 31. May: 70 728<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The .NO domain name policy requires only a valid auth-code for an inter-registrar transfer, i.e. no FOAs are required.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The above statistics do not include transfers to "REG0" - a process NORID uses for a deletion of a .NO domain name.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><span lang="EN-US">According to NORID, the number of “disputes” are zero (0) after mandatory auth-codes were implemented for an inter-registrar transfer.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Per Dec 31 2020, the total .NO domain names were 805 539 (reference https://www.norid.no/en/aktuelt/2020-et-ar-for-digitale-sjumilssteg/). Updated statistics: https://www.norid.no/en/om-domenenavn/nokkeltall/<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">The .NO domain name registration policy can be found on https://www.norid.no/en/om-domenenavn/regelverk-for-no/<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Thanks to Hilde Thunem, CEO of NORID for the transfer statistics.<span lang="EN-US">.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
