ICANN Drops EstDomains

"...the company's president, Vladimir Tsastsin, was convicted of credit card fraud, money laundering and document forgery in Estonia in February."

"ICANN is in the process of organizing a transfer of the 281,000 domain name records EstDomains holds to other registrars. ICANN said the company will be de-accredited on Nov. 24."

"...the company's de-accreditation comes on a technicality in its contract with ICANN rather for bad behavior. It highlights what many computer security experts say is a lack of oversight over the Internet to stop abuse such as spam."

Thanks for the links..

Apparently this was seen coming for quite some time.

I better check and see if I have any domains left in my estdomains account!
