Fussball.TV - Taken!

[Ammudamus]

I just got an email from Dynadot that one of my domain names has been removed from my account by the central registry without any notice! At first I thought my account was hacked, but this was done without any notification. I have had this names for many years and it was standard renewal. I am shocked by this and am trying to get answers. Everyone should be on high alert! Not good on .TV's behalf.

.TV Restart
it may be time to get the band back together on .TV

as the registry may be tempted to revisit premium renewals, retroactivity but maybe bring some publicity i td like to restart the community that has always been one of the best things about .tv

we can be more effective if they cant seperate us..

the .tv group on namepros.

invite your freinds,,

questions - should we use the old namepros cctld topic board etc or new place, doesnt matter to me

ps sold a geo.tv today for $2500 on afternic

Here is the response from the Godaddy registry:

For .TV, the GoDaddy Registry and ICANN rules for certain ASCII and IDN variant domain names cause a collision of data where certain domain names are not able to be migrated (or registered). This is called a ‘canonical names issue’. GoDaddy Registry is working on a solution to its platform to insert any names that were impacted by the canonical names issue. Once the solution is released, GoDaddy Registry will ‘grandfather’ .TV names into the registry zone.


This leaves me without any domain for an undetermined period of time because there was an error in their platform. I will continue to keep you all posted as to how this unfolds.

Fussball.TV just got returned to my account as well as another name that had the same issue. Godaddy followed through.

 

[Ammudamus]

I see the WHOIS at Name.com shows differently. I have escalated with Godaddy and even Dynadot to send any supporting documentation. Appreciate everyone's reply. Let's hope it was an error.

this must be an error on their side with German "ß" which they cannot handle correctly:

if you go to dynadot.com and try to register:

fußball.tv -> whois:
https://www.dynadot.com/domain/whois?domain=xn--fuball-cta.tv

fussball.tv -> whois:
https://www.dynadot.com/domain/whois?domain=fussball.tv

it points to the same domain name data:

Domain Name: xn--fuball-cta.tv
Updated Date: 2022-11-16T12:50:42Z
Creation Date: 2013-06-12T14:33:12Z

whilst your fussball.tv (with double "s") was registered on 2016-09-18 (this date no longer visible).

there seems to be the same issue with eg. spaß.tv and spass.tv.

Thanks for keeping the community posted about GoDaddy Registry's progress here.

My guess registry system made a error
Since Godaddy take the administration of .TV was a full of error last month
My guess Godaddy take your domain & simply erased from system without possibility to be reg.

Should have some evidence of ownership & ask Godaddy for answers not Dynadot

Since GoDaddy acquired .TV, Paul can find out what happened:

If you go to fussball . tv, it shows it as being for sale. Is that your for sale page from when the domain was in your account?

 

[Ammudamus]

The latest update is that Dynadot has submitted a ticket with Godaddy, and they are investigating it. No ETA has been provided, unfortunately.

 

[Ammudamus]

Ironically, another domain seems to have an issue updating the whois which is Dusseldorf.TV. It was not taken from my account, but same IDN issue.

 

[Ammudamus]

Here is the latest update from Godaddy. It looks like the fix is going to be in place in February of 2023. This did affect other domains.

Thank you for your patience. We'd like to first confirm to you that while working through this issue, the nameservers for FUSSBALL.TV were inserted into the DNS and the website was not taken offline. We shared previously that we are working on a solution that will grandfather names into the registry platform. While we are working on the solution to grandfather the domain, nameserver update requests can be managed by opening a case with us. This is a manual process but will be a method for you to manage any updates your customer may have.

Our product team has noted that FUSSBALL.TV currently has a parked sales landing page. Unfortunately, during this window of time prior to the solution release, the domain name won’t be able to be sold.

We expect the solution release to be available sometime in February 2023, where GoDaddy Registry will then insert the names with their respective data to the registry platform with Dyndot as the sponsoring registrar for this specific domain name. During this window of time prior to the release, the customer will not lose the domain and nor will it expire. Ultimately, no domain names will be lost.

FUSSBALL.TV does have certain variants, one of which was registered before the ASCII version in 2013. Therefore, FUSSBALL.TV was involved in the canonical names issue as described.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused while we worked to find a suitable solution, but want to again reiterate that the website remains live and online and the domain name will soon be inserted into Dynadot's domain account.

 

[think]

Disturbing. Hopefully you can get this taken care of amicably.

 

[Armageddon]

xn--fuball-cta.tv is this?
It's a IDN?

 

[Ammudamus]

It's not an IDN, but it is gone from my account.

 

[Ammudamus]

Dynadot confirmed the account was not compromised.

 

[Ammudamus]

If is not IDN why show as IDN at whois ?
Maybe it's a Godaddy registry error
Show is reg since 2013 on Key system but show as IDN version reg there
But as i say on whois ( any ) when is typed
FUSSBALL .tv show as IDN not a normal

This could very well be the case, but its the only domain in question. Seems very strange.

 

[Ammudamus]

If you go to fussball . tv, it shows it as being for sale. Is that your for sale page from when the domain was in your account?

Yes.

this must be an error on their side with German "ß" which they cannot handle correctly:

if you go to dynadot.com and try to register:

fußball.tv -> whois:
https://www.dynadot.com/domain/whois?domain=xn--fuball-cta.tv

fussball.tv -> whois:
https://www.dynadot.com/domain/whois?domain=fussball.tv

it points to the same domain name data:

Domain Name: xn--fuball-cta.tv
Updated Date: 2022-11-16T12:50:42Z
Creation Date: 2013-06-12T14:33:12Z

whilst your fussball.tv (with double "s") was registered on 2016-09-18 (this date no longer visible).

there seems to be the same issue with eg. spaß.tv and spass.tv.

Look at Name.com WHOIS and type in fussball.tv.

I just left a voicemail for Nick Fuller at Godaddy. Thanks Ray.

Nice to see you Page! As of right now, I am still going through the chain of command at Godaddy to get the domain back or hear back an explanation.

Cheers on your sale. What GEO was it?
