.IS Domain General FAQ Iceland FAQ - What does a "corresponding non-IDN domain" mean to a IDN domain?
- The corresponding non-IDN domain is constructed from the IDN domain according to the following table:
-> th -> a -> i
-> ae -> e -> o
-> o -> y
-> d -> u
- What if I want to cancel a domain or what if my domain is cancelled?
- 1. The rights to a registered domain may be cancelled pursuant to the policies described in this document.
2. The general rule is that use of a domain is valid for one year at a time. If the annual renewal fee has not been received by the domain's expiration date the domain will be suspended by ISNIC, that is, the delegation records for the domain are removed from the IS zone. If a domain is suspended for 60 days or more it is removed from the domain registry; the rights to the domain then become void and the domain becomes available for registration again.
3. In the case a domain experiences technical problems, i.e. its nameservers are no longer connected, the domain is missing from the defined nameservers, the domain's zone is improperly formatted in the delegated nameservers or otherwise fails to comply with ISNIC's technical requirements, a warning is issued to the administrative contact and the technical contact for the domain. If no heed has been taken of the warning within 60 days the domain is suspended. If a domain is suspended for 60 days or more it is removed from the domain registry; the rights to the domain become void and the domain becomes available for application again.
4. The administrative contact for the domain can terminate the domain. Subsequent to the termination the domain is removed from the domain registry. The domain becomes available to applicants again.
5. Rights to a domain become void if the Board of Appeals or an Icelandic court comes to the decision that another party than the registrant has greater rights to that domain.
6. A registered custodian (ISP) may inform ISNIC that he no longer services a particular domain (no longer holds the domain's zone data). ISNIC will the put that domain on hold pending redelegation to a new custodian by the domain's registrant.
- What is the role of the domain's administrative contact?
- Usually, a domain's adminstrative contact is simply the registrant. However, in some cases, the registrant needs a domestic contact person. The agents can also assist in domestic legal matters, i.e. trademarks, copyright etc. If the registrant wants someone else to have full change-control over the domain, a third party can be appointed administrative contact.
Please note that the admin contact has full, web-based control of the domain, including the ability to transfer the domain to a new registrant. It is the registrants responsibility to ensure that proper contracts exist between a third-party administrative contact and the registrant.
