ICANN has terminated another registrar’s accreditation, this time putting about 10,000 domains at risk.
The registrar in question is Dubai-based Intracom Middle East, which does business at domains.gdn.
As the domain suggests, the company specialized in .gdn domain names. It had about 10,000 of them under management at the last count, sold for under a dollar each for the first year.
It was the .gdn registry’s second-biggest registrar after Dynadot.
ICANN Compliance is terminating its contract for not paying its fees, not implementing RDAP, and generally not publishing required transparency information on its web site.
As I noted in May, its web site appeared to be down, and archived versions of the site suggested it had been hacked at least once recently.
ICANN, which had been chasing Intracom for a little over a year, said it will follow the De-Accredited Registrar Transition Procedure to move the company’s remaining domain names to a new registrar.
