Is this true? GoDaddy Related and ICANN - DNForum - Domain Sales, Domain Forum, Domain Appraisals, Domain Registrars

I wanted to transfer my domains from GoDaddy.com to Name.com
After I started the tranfer GoDaddy sent me an email saying:

"Express written objection to the transfer from the Transfer Contact. (e.g. - email, fax, paper document or other processes by which the Transfer Contact has expressly and voluntarily objected through opt-in means).

The express written objection may be the result of a pending or recently completed Change of Registered Name Holder. This is an opt-in process during which the new Registered Name Holder agrees not to transfer for 60-days. This domain will be transferrable on 12/21/2009."

I called them up and they told me I changed contact info and now the domain is locked for another 60 days and according to them it's ICANN that dictates this. Is this true?

I actually did change contact info and I pushed from one godaddy account into another godaddy account 5 days ago.

yep, its true. if you change the whois info you're stuck for 60 days. even if you didn't i think pushing it from account to account locks it for 60 days as well.

I have done this many times at different registrars and I was able to transfer out, so I was not sure what's the real deal.

Unless it was recently changed to be a standard, there are a bunch of registrars that don't force you to stay for 60 days after a contact change.

**ydnaemsti** · 10-29-2009, 09:53 AM

Makes sense. In all this GoDaddy became my worst registrar after 1hostBrazil

I understand your frustration my friend.

FYI: Moniker doesn't do this.

**sdsinc** · 10-29-2009, 11:44 AM

It is GD policy, nothing to do with icann. However, if you transfer a domain to another registrar, then yes it is locked for 60 days per icann mandate. Registrars like to confuse you.

**ydnaemsti** · 10-29-2009, 11:47 AM

Yes, Moniker does not do it. I like Monte, but Moniker is at the end of the list for me.
Moniker is good when you have 5 domains max.

@sdsinc

I know the icann rules, but GoDaddy lied to me. They were yelling at me that it is ICANN rules and not GoDaddy policy.

Much as I dislike godaddy and wouldn't use them .. ever ... I doubt they actually yelled at you.

BTW, if sdsinc posts a reply to your thread then read and digest it without coming over all 'meth comedown'

How do you know she did not? Is sdsinc a God?
And how do you know I was coming over all 'meth comedown'? lol
