IMPORTANT NOTE 1: On December 1st, 2016, a new Transfer Policy, mandated by ICANN, went into effect to all accredited Registrars. This new policy briefly states that any change to a domain's Registrant Name, Organization, and/or Email Address will trigger a new Change of Registrant process, during which the domain name will be placed in a 60-day transfer lock.
