[registrars] registrar de-accreditation process information

[Mike Zupke]

Dear registrars,

ICANN posted two announcements on Friday related to registrar de-accreditations.  The first is a request for expressions of interest to receive one or two of two bulk transfers of names from two registrars that were recently de-accredited.  You can find the announcement at:

http://www.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-06jun08-en.htm

The second announcement describes ICANN's draft/interim process for transitioning management of names from de-accredited registrars and opens a public comment forum for same.  You can find the announcement, including public comment instructions at:

Please email me if you have any questions.

Thanks.
