Thread: New .IN Registrant Agreement

Mitsu just posted on their website new .In Registrant Agreement provided by .In Registry for all .IN Registrant no matter which registrar they register with.

See the link below:

That is why am Mitsu fan, they do inform and update their customers well in advance even till date no .In registrar inform us about .In promo ?

Thanks for this - much appreciated!

Some good stuff and some bad stuff. I'm glad that proxy services are not allowed and that they are insisting on accurate whois information.

However, the way that I'm reading these terms is that now the registry has the power to cancel any domain at any time without a judicial process. That's scary stuff. If the Registry actually starts to use that power, there are going to be serious negative consequences.

number 3 and 4 are interesting:

3. Proxy/Privacy Services: Any kind of proxy services are not
allowed, and if the data is wrong or masked out by any proxy/
privilege protection services, the Registrant shall not be recognized
as the owner of the domain name.

4. No illegal/ obscene Content: The Registrant undertakes that it
shall not register a domain name which is contrary to public policy
and that the Content of the website shall not be violative of any
Indian Laws.

With regards to number 3, I've seen many in the .in whois registry who use their registrars privacy option.

I would imagine (or I certainly hope!) the .IN Registry will give domain owners time to comply with this particular term. Perhaps they should set a deadline for this?

I agree. There must be a judicial process introduced. Some kind of court hearing etc.

Yes..there should be an arbitration forum of something similar to handle these cases..

Now I kinda getting why some of owners selling out bunch of great their domains (premium, LLL) for a cheap or mid prices lately.

GetItNow - I think that has more to do with the economy than this change, which only happened a few days ago.

i see Jeff. thx

did the registry not have any such agreement in place before?.Does the other ccTLD registries have similar agreements in place,like .co.uk or .us or .com.au for the matter ,if yes what is the effect like ,if no,how can one registry make such a decision,i mean arent the registries accountable to ICANN ,does the ccTLD registries follow certain guidelines from ICANN or can they individually take independent decisions..
thanks and regards
