Good to know when registering

Transfer
Transferring a .みんな
- Make sure the domain name doesn't have a block on it, such as a registrar lock or hold. You can check this in the WHOIS. If there is a block, the registrant can ask the current registrar to remove it.
- You need a transfer code to start the transfer.
- After the request, the registrant or administrative contact listed in the WHOIS receives a confirmation email. Confirm this email, otherwise the transfer won't start. This is the authorisation form required by ICANN policy.
- After confirmation, the request goes via the registry to the current registrar. The current registrar then sends the registrant or administrative contact an email that can be used to refuse the transfer.
- If you don't respond to the email from the current registrar, the transfer is completed automatically after 5 days.
- If the email address in the WHOIS is invalid, the transfer can't go ahead. In that case, ask your current registrar to update the WHOIS details.
- After a successful transfer, the registry locks the domain name against another transfer for 60 days.
The transfer code
- A transfer code is needed for a transfer. The registrant or administrative contact requests it from the current registrar.
- The code is 8 to 32 characters long and contains at least one letter, one number and one special character.
Owner
Change of registrant
- A change of registrant falls under ICANN's transfer policy.
