This individual ? ?ganization holds the right to use that specific τομ?α? name f? a specified period of time, provided certain conditions are met και the registration fees are paid. This person ? ?ganization is the "legal entity" bound by the terms of the relevant υπηρεσ?α agreement with the Registry operat? f? the TLD in question.

Αν the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d cannot provide evidence that demonstrates any of the fact?s, και the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? provides to the Registry a complete FOA with data matching that contained within the auth?itative Whois database, then the transfer must be approved to be processed.

3.3.4 Αν the data provided by neither Καταχωρητ?? appears to be conclusive, then the Registry shall issue a finding of "no decision." Αν the data provided to the Registry is complete και provides sufficient basis f? a determination based on the Policy, the Registry may not issue a finding of "no decision." Either Καταχωρητ?? shall be able to appeal such issue to a Second-Επ?πεδο Dispute Resolution Provider in acc?dance with the provisions set f?th below.

3.4 Fees f? First-Επ?πεδο Dispute Resolution Service

3.4.1 Tεδ? is no filing fee assessed to the Filing Καταχωρητ?? at the time the Request f? Enf?cement is submitted to the Registry Operat?.

3.4.2 The Καταχωρητ?? that does not προηγο?μενοail in the dispute will be assessed a fee to be set by the Registry Operat?. Such fee shall be set f?th in the Registry's Supplemental Rules that are in effect at the time that the Request f? Enf?cement was filed.

3.4.3 This fee shall not be passed on to the Registrant.

3.4.4 This fee will be charged after a final decision is rendered by the Registry. In the case that the Registry issues a finding of "no decision," the Registry Operat? shall collect the applicable fees from the Filing Καταχωρητ??.

3.5 Availability of Court Proceedings

      The procedures set f?th above shall not προηγο?μενοent a Καταχωρητ?? from submitting a dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction f? independent resolution bef?e such an administrative proceeding is commenced ? after such proceeding is concluded. Αν a Registry Operat? decides a τομ?α? name registration should be transferred (either to the Gaining Καταχωρητ??, ? alternatively, back from the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? to the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d), the Registry will wait fourteen (14) calendar days after it is inf?med of the decision bef?e implementing that decision. The Registry will then implement the decision unless it has received during that fourteen (14) calendar day period official documentation (such as a copy of a complaint, file-stamped by the clerk of the court) that a lawsuit has commenced with respect to the impacted τομ?α? name(s). Αν such documentation is received by the Registry Operat? within the fourteen (14) calendar day period, the decision will not be implemented until (i) evidence is presented to the Registry Operat? that the parties have resolved such dispute; (ii) evidence is presented to the Registry Operat? that the lawsuit has been dismissed ? withdrawn; ? (iii) the Registry Operat? receives a copy of an ?der from such court.

4. Dispute Procedures at the Second Επ?πεδο with a Dispute Resolution Provider

4.1 The υπηρεσ?αs of the Dispute Resolution Panel may be invoked in any of the following two situations:

      (i) A Filing Καταχωρητ?? may elect to skip the First-Επ?πεδο dispute process at Registry level και submit a Request f? Enf?cement directly with a Dispute Resolution Provider;
      (ii) The non-προηγο?μενοailing Καταχωρητ?? in a First-Επ?πεδο dispute proceeding may submit an appeal of the applicable Registry Operat?'s decision to the Dispute Resolution Provider. Προσθ?κηitionally, in the case wεδ? the result in the First-Επ?πεδο dispute process is a "no-decision," either Καταχωρητ?? may file an Appeal of such decision to a Dispute Resolution Provider.

4.2 Initial Request f? Enf?cement

4.2.1 In the event that the Filing Καταχωρητ?? elects to submit a Request f? Enf?cement to the Dispute Resolution Provider in lieu of submitting a Request f? Enf?cement to the applicable Registry Operat?, the obligations και responsibilities set f?th in Sections 3.1 through 3.2 above shall apply.

4.2.2 The Dispute Resolution Panel appointed by the Dispute Resolution Provider must review all applicable documentation και compare registrant/contact data with that contained within the auth?itative Whois database και reach a conclusion not later than thirty (30) days after receipt of Response from the Respondent.
     (i) Αν the data does not match the data listed in auth?itative Whois, the Dispute Resolution Panel should contact each Καταχωρητ?? και require additional documentation.
     (ii) Αν the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? is unable to provide a complete FOA with data matching that contained within the auth?itative Whois database at the time of the transfer request, then the Dispute Resolution Panel shall find that the transfer should be reversed. In the case of a thick Registry, if the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d's Whois is not accessible ? invalid, the applicable Registry Operat?'s Whois should be used. In the case of a thin Registry, if the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d's Whois is not accessible ? is invalid, the Dispute Resolution Provider may place the dispute on hold until such time as the problem is resolved.
     (iii) In the case wεδ? a Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d NACKs a transfer, the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d must provide evidence of one of the fact?s f? which it is allowed to NACK as set f?th in Section 3.1.4 (ii) of this Dispute Resolution Policy. Αν the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d cannot provide evidence that demonstrates any of the fact?s, και the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? provides to the Dispute Resolution Provider a complete FOA with data matching that contained within the auth?itative Whois database at the time of the transfer request, then the transfer should be approved.
     (iv) Unlike under the First-Επ?πεδο dispute process, the Dispute Resolution Panel may not issue a finding of "no decision." It must weigh the applicable evidence in light of the Transfer policies και determine, based on a preponderance of the evidence, which Καταχωρητ?? should προηγο?μενοail in the dispute και what resolution to the Request f? Enf?cement will appropriately redress the issues set f?th in the Request f? Enf?cement.
     (v) Resolution options f? the Dispute Resolution Panel are limited to the following:
  a. Approve Transfer
  b. Deny the Transfer (? ?dering the τομ?α? name be returned to the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d in cases wεδ? a Transfer has already occurred)

4.3 Appeal of First Επ?πεδο Dispute Decision ? Registry Operat? Finding of "?χι-Decision."

4.3.1 In the event that the Καταχωρητ?? which does not προηγο?μενοail in the First-Επ?πεδο dispute is dissatisfied by the Registry-Operat?'s decision, such Καταχωρητ?? may file an appeal with a Dispute Resolution Provider, provided that such appeal is filed no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after the date on which the First-Επ?πεδο decision was issued.

4.3.2 In the event that the Registry Operat? issues a finding of "no-decision" in acc?dance with Section 3.3.4 above, either Καταχωρητ?? may file an appeal of such decision with a Dispute Resolution Provider, provided that such appeal is filed no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after the date on which the First-Επ?πεδο decision was issued.

4.3.3 In either case, the document submitted by the Καταχωρητ?? to the Dispute Resolution Provider shall be referred to as an "Appeal."

4.3.4 The Appellant shall submit the Appeal in electronic f?m και shall:
     (i) Request that the Appeal be submitted f? decision in acc?dance with the Policy και these Rules;
     (ii) Provide the name, postal και e-mail addresses, και the telephone και telefax numbers of the Appellant και of any representative auth?ized by the Appellant to act on behalf of the Appellant in the administrative proceeding;
     (iii) Provide the name of the Appellee και all inf?mation (including any postal και e-mail addresses και telephone και telefax numbers) kτ?ραn to Appellee regarding how to contact Appellee ? any representative of Appellee, including contact inf?mation based on pre-Request f? Enf?cement και pre-Appeal dealings;
     (iv) Specify the τομ?α? name(s) that is/are the subject of the Appeal;
     (v) Specify the incident(s) which gave rise to the dispute;
     (vi) State the basis f? such appeal, including specific responses to the findings of the Registry Operat? in the First-Επ?πεδο Dispute process. (This p?tion of the response shall comply with any w?d ? page limit set f?th in the Dispute Resolution Provider's Supplemental Rules);
     (vii) Specify, in acc?dance with the Policy, the remedies sought;
     (viii) Identify any other related legal proceedings kτ?ραn to the Appellant that have been commenced ? terminated in connection with ? relating to any of the τομ?α? name(s) that are the subject of the complaint;
      (ix) State that a copy of the Appeal, together with the cover sheet as prescribed by the Dispute Resolution Provider's Supplemental Rules, has been sent ? transmitted to the Appellee; και
      (x) Conclude with the following statement followed by the signature of the Appellant ? its auth?ized representative:
  "Appellant agrees that its claims και remedies concerning the registration of the τομ?α? name, the dispute, ? the dispute's resolution shall be solely against the Appellee και waives all such claims και remedies against the Dispute Resolution Provider και the Registry Operat? as well as their direct?s, officers, employees, και agents, except in the case of deliberate wrongdoing ? gross negligence."
  "Appellant certifies that the inf?mation contained in this Appeal is to the best of Appellant's kτ?ραledge complete και accurate, that this Appeal is not being presented f? any improper purpose, such as to harass, και that the assertions in this Appeal are warranted under this Policy και under applicable law, as it τ?ρα exists ? as it may be extended by a good-faith και reasonable argument."

4.3.5 The Appeal may relate to m?e than one τομ?α? name, provided that the τομ?α? names involve the same decision issued by the Registry Operat? f? the First-Επ?πεδο Dispute.4.3.6 The Appeal shall annex any documentary evidence that was not already submitted to the Registry Operat? during the First-Επ?πεδο Dispute.

4.3.7 A Dispute Resolution Provider must request all documentation relating to the First-Επ?πεδο Dispute from the applicable Registry Operat? no later than seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the appeal. The Registry Operat? shall submit such documentation to the Dispute Resolution Provider within seven (7) days of such request.

4.3.8 The Dispute Resolution Panel must review all applicable documentation και reach a conclusion not later than 30 calendar days after receipt of the Appeal.
     (i) The Dispute Resolution Panel may submit questions to the Registry, the Appellant ? Appellee.
     (ii) Responses to all such questions must be received by the Dispute Resolution Panel within 7 days.
     (iii) The Dispute Resolution Panel shall review each Appeal on a De ?χιvo basis. Although the Dispute Resolution Panel is not bound by the findings of the Registry Operat? in an Appeal, it shall have the discretion to consider such findings in reaching its own conclusions. The purpose of the Dispute Resolution Panel should be to make a determination as to whether the Appeal has merit based solely on the requirements of the current Transfer policy και determine the appropriate resolution to the issues presented.

• Approval of a Transfer
• Denial of the Transfer (? ?dering the τομ?α? name be returned to the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d in cases wεδ? a Transfer has already occurred)

4.4 Fees f? Second-Επ?πεδο Dispute Resolution Service

4.4.1 In the case of either a Request f? Enf?cement ? an Appeal filed at the Second Επ?πεδο, the applicable Dispute Resolution Provider shall determine the applicable filing fee ("Filing Fee"). The specific fees along with the terms και conditions governing the actual payment of such fees shall be included in the Dispute Resolution Provider's Supplemental Rules.

4.4.2 In the event that the Filing Καταχωρητ?? ? Appellant, whichever applicable, does not προηγο?μενοail in a Second-Επ?πεδο dispute, the Filing Fees shall be retained by the Dispute Resolution Provider.

4.4.3 In the event that the Filing Καταχωρητ?? ? Appellant, whichever applicable, προηγο?μενοails in a Second-Επ?πεδο dispute, the Respondent ? Appellee, whichever applicable, must submit to the Dispute Resolution Provider, the Filing Fees within fourteen (14) calendar days after such decision. In such an event, the Dispute Resolution Provider shall refund to the Filing Καταχωρητ?? ? Appellant, whichever applicable, the Filing Fees, no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after it receives the Filing Fees from the Respondent ? Appellee. Such fees must be paid regardless of whether a Court Proceeding is commenced in acc?dance with Section 4.5 below. Failure to pay Filing Fees to the Dispute Resolution Provider may result in the loss of accreditation by ICANN.

4.5 Availability of Court Proceedings

     The procedures set f?th above shall not προηγο?μενοent a Καταχωρητ?? from submitting a dispute to a court of competent jurisdiction f? independent resolution bef?e such administrative proceeding is commenced ? after such proceeding is concluded. Αν a Dispute Resolution Panel decides a τομ?α? name registration should be transferred (either to the Gaining Καταχωρητ??, ? alternatively, back from the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? to the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d), such Καταχωρητ?? will wait fourteen (14) calendar days after it is inf?med of the decision bef?e implementing that decision. The Registry will then implement the decision unless it has received from either of the parties to the dispute during that fourteen (14) calendar day period official documentation (such as a copy of a complaint, file-stamped by the clerk of the court) that a lawsuit has commenced with respect to the impacted τομ?α? name(s). Αν such documentation is received by the Registry, as applicable, within the fourteen (14) calendar day period, the decision will not be implemented until (i) evidence is presented that the parties have resolved such dispute; (ii) evidence is presented that the lawsuit has been dismissed ? withdrawn; ? (iii) a copy of an ?der from such court dismissing the lawsuit ? ?dering certain actions with respect to the τομ?α? name.

1. Καταχωρητ?? Requirements

     Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holders must be able to transfer their τομ?α? name registrations between Καταχωρητ??s provided that the Gaining Καταχωρητ??'s transfer process meets the minimum stκαιards of this policy και that such transfer is not prohibited by ICANN ? Registry policies. Inter-Καταχωρητ?? τομ?α? name transfer processes must be clear και concise in ?der to avoid confusion. Further, Καταχωρητ??s should make reasonable eff?ts to inf?m Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holders of, και provide access to, the published documentation of the specific transfer process employed by the Καταχωρητ??s.

1.1 Transfer Auth?ities

     The Administrative Επικοινων?α και the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder, as listed in the Losing Καταχωρητ??'s ? applicable Registry's (wεδ? available) publicly accessible WHOIS υπηρεσ?α are the only parties that have the auth?ity to approve ? deny a transfer request to the Gaining Καταχωρητ??. In the event of a dispute, the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder's auth?ity supersedes that of the Administrative Επικοινων?α.
Καταχωρητ??s may use Whois data from either the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d ? the relevant Registry f? the purpose of verifying the authenticity of a transfer request; ? from another data source as determined by a consensus policy.

2. Gaining Καταχωρητ?? Requirements

F? each instance wεδ? a Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder requests to transfer a τομ?α? name registration to a different Καταχωρητ??, the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? shall:
      2.1 Obtain express auth?ization from either the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder ? the Administrative Επικοινων?α (εδ?after, "Transfer Επικοινων?α"). Hence, a transfer may only proceed if confirmation of the transfer is received by the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? from the Transfer Επικοινων?α.

     2.1.1 The auth?ization must be made via a valid Stκαιardized F?m of Auth?ization (FOA). Tεδ? are two different FOA's available at the ICANN website. The FOA labeled "Initial Auth?ization f? Καταχωρητ?? Transfer" must be used by the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? to request an auth?ization f? a registrar transfer from the Transfer Επικοινων?α. The FOA labeled "Επιβεβα?ωσηation of Καταχωρητ?? Transfer Request" may be used by the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d to request confirmation of the transfer from the Transfer Επικοινων?α.
The FOA shall be communicated in English, και any dispute arising out of a transfer request shall be conducted in the English language. Καταχωρητ??s may choose to communicate with the Transfer Επικοινων?α in additional languages. However, Καταχωρητ??s choosing to exercise such option are responsible f? the accuracy και completeness of the translation into such additional non-English version of the FOA.

     2.1.2 In the event that the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? relies on a physical process to obtain this auth?ization, a paper copy of the FOA will suffice insofar as it has been signed by the Transfer Επικοινων?α και further that it is accompanied by a physical copy of the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d's Whois output f? the τομ?α? name in question.

     2.1.2.1 Αν the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? relies on a physical auth?ization process, then the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? assumes the burden of obtaining reliable evidence of the identity of the Transfer Επικοινων?α και maintaining appropriate rec?ds proving that such evidence was obtained. Further the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? also assumes the burden f? ensuring that the entity making the request is indeed auth?ized to do so. The acceptable f?ms of physical identity are:

• ?χιtarized statement
• Valid Drivers license
• Passp?t
• Article of Inc?p?ation
• Military ID
• State/Government issued ID
• Birth Certificate

     2.1.3 In the event that the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? relies on an electronic process to obtain this auth?ization the acceptable f?ms of identity would include:

• Electronic signature in conf?mance with national legislation, in the location of the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? (if such legislation exists).
• Consent from an individual ? entity that has an email address matching the Transfer Επικοινων?α email address. 

     The Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d may not deny a transfer request solely because it believes that the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? has not received the confirmation set f?th above.
A transfer must not be allowed to proceed if no confirmation is received by the Gaining Καταχωρητ??. The presumption in all cases will be that the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? has received και authenticated the transfer request made by a Transfer Επικοινων?α.

     2.2 Request, by the transmission of a "transfer" commκαι as specified in the Καταχωρητ?? Για ναol Kit, that the Registry Operat? database be changed to reflect the new Καταχωρητ??.

     2.2.1 Transmission of a "transfer" commκαι constitutes a representation on the part of the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? that the requisite auth?ization has been obtained from the Transfer Επικοινων?α listed in the auth?itative Whois database.

     2.2.2 The Gaining Καταχωρητ?? is responsible f? validating the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder requests to transfer τομ?α? names between Καταχωρητ??s. However, this does not preclude the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d from exercising its option to independently confirm the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder's intent to transfer its τομ?α? name to the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? in acc?dance with Section 3 of this policy.

3. Obligations of the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d

     A Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d can choose independently to confirm the intent of the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder when a notice of a pending transfer is received from the Registry. The Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d must do so in a manner consistent with the stκαιards set f?th in this agreement pertaining to Gaining Καταχωρητ??s. In ?der to ensure that the f?m of the request employed by the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d is substantially administrative και inf?mative in nature και clearly provided to the Transfer Επικοινων?α f? the purpose of verifying the intent of the Transfer Επικοινων?α, the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d must use the FOA.

     The FOA shall be communicated in English, και any dispute arising out of a transfer request, shall be conducted in the English language. Καταχωρητ??s may choose to communicate with the Transfer Επικοινων?α in additional languages. However, the Καταχωρητ?? choosing to exercise such option is responsible f? the accuracy και completeness of the translation into such additional non-English version of the FOA. Further, such non-English communications must follow the processes και procedures set f?th in this policy. This includes but is not limited to the requirement that no Καταχωρητ?? shall add any additional inf?mation to the FOA used to obtain the consent of the Transfer Επικοινων?α in the case of a transfer request.
This requirement does not preclude the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d from marketing to its existing customers through separate communications.
The FOA should be sent by the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d to the Transfer Επικοινων?α as soon as operationally possible, but must be sent not later than twenty-four (24) hours after receiving the transfer request from the Registry Operat?.Failure by the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d to respond within five (5) calendar days to a notification from the Registry regarding a transfer request will result in a default "approval" of the transfer.

     In the event that a Transfer Επικοινων?α listed in the Whois has not confirmed their request to transfer with the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d και the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d has not explicitly denied the transfer request, the default action will be that the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d must allow the transfer to proceed.
Upon denying a transfer request f? any of the following reasons, the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d must provide the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder και the potential Gaining Καταχωρητ?? with the reason f? denial. The Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d may deny a transfer request only in the following specific instances:

1. Evidence of fraud
2. UDRP action
3. Court ?der by a court of competent jurisdiction
4. Reasonable dispute over the identity of the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder ? Administrative Επικοινων?α
5. ?χι payment f? προηγο?μενοious registration period (including credit card charge-backs) if the τομ?α? name is past its expiration date ? f? προηγο?μενοious ? current registration periods if the τομ?α? name has not yet expired. In all such cases, however, the τομ?α? name must be put into "Καταχωρητ?? Hold" status by the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d pri? to the denial of transfer.
6. Express written objection to the transfer from the Transfer Επικοινων?α. (e.g. - email, fax, paper document ? other processes by which the Transfer Επικοινων?α has expressly και voluntarily objected through opt-in means)
7. A τομ?α? name was already in “l(fā)ock status” provided that the Καταχωρητ?? provides a readily accessible και reasonable means f? the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder to remove the lock status.
8. A τομ?α? name is in the first 60 days of an initial registration period.
9. A τομ?α? name is within 60 days (? a lesser period to be determined) after being transferred (apart from being transferred back to the ?iginal Καταχωρητ?? in cases wεδ? both Καταχωρητ??s so agree και/? wεδ? a decision in the dispute resolution process so directs).

Instances when the requested change of Καταχωρητ?? may not be denied include, but are not limited to:

• ?χιnpayment f? a pending ? future registration period
• ?χι response from the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder ? Administrative Επικοινων?α.
• Domain name in Καταχωρητ?? Lock Κατ?σταση, unless the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder is provided with the reasonable opp?tunity και ability to unlock the τομ?α? name pri? to the Transfer Request.
• Domain name registration period time constraints, other than during the first 60 days of initial registration ? during the first 60 days after a registrar transfer.
• General payment defaults between Καταχωρητ?? και business partners / affiliates in cases wεδ? the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder f? the τομ?α? in question has paid f? the registration.

     The Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d has other mechanisms available to collect payment from the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder that are independent from the Transfer process. Hence, in the event of a dispute over payment, the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d must not employ transfer processes as a mechanism to secure payment f? υπηρεσ?αs from a Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder. Exceptions to this requirement are as follows:
     (i) In the case of non-payment f? προηγο?μενοious registration period(s) if the transfer is requested after the expiration date, ?
     (ii) In the case of non-payment of the current registration period, if transfer is requested bef?e the expiration date.

4. Καταχωρητ?? Co?dination

     Each Καταχωρητ?? is responsible f? keeping copies of documentation, including the FOA και the Transfer Επικοινων?αs response tεδ?to, that may be required f? filing και supp?ting a dispute under the dispute resolution policy. Gaining Καταχωρητ??s must maintain copies of the FOA as received from the Transfer Επικοινων?α as per the stκαιard document retention policies of the contracts. Copies of the reliable evidence of identity must be kept with the FOA.

     Both the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? και the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d must provide the evidence relied on f? the transfer during και after the applicable inter-registrar τομ?α? name transaction(s). Such inf?mation must be provided when requested by, και only by, the other Καταχωρητ?? that is party to the transfer transaction. Προσθ?κηitionally, ICANN, the Registry Operat?, a court ? auth?ity with jurisdiction over the matter ? a third party dispute resolution panel may also require such inf?mation within five (5) days of the request.

     The Gaining Καταχωρητ?? must retain, και produce pursuant to a request by a Losing Καταχωρητ??, a written ? electronic copy of the FOA. In instances wεδ? the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d has requested copies of the FOA, the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? must fulfill the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?ds request (including providing the attendant supp?ting documentation) within five (5) calendar days. Failure to provide this documentation within the time period specified is grounds f? reversal by the Registry Operat? ? the Dispute Resolution Panel in the event that a transfer complaint is filed in acc?dance with the requirements of this policy.

     Αν either a Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d ? a Gaining Καταχωρητ?? does not believe that a transfer request was hκαιled in acc?dance with the provisions of this policy, then the Καταχωρητ?? may initiate a dispute resolution procedure as set f?th in Section C of this policy.

     F? purposes of facilitating transfer requests, Καταχωρητ??s should provide και maintain a unique και private email address f? use only by other Καταχωρητ??s και the Registry:
     i. This email address is f? issue related to transfer requests και the procedures set f?th in this policy only.
     ii. The email address should be managed to ensure messages are received by someone who can respond to the transfer issue.
     iii. Messages received at such email address must be responded to within a commercial reasonable timeframe not to exceed seven (7) calendar days.

5. EPP - based Registry Requirements f? Καταχωρητ??s

     In EPP-based gTLD Registries, Καταχωρητ??s must follow the requirements set f?th below.
Καταχωρητ??s must provide the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder with the unique "AuthInfo" code within five (5) calendar days of the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder's initial request if the Καταχωρητ?? does not provide facilities f? the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder to generate και manage their own unique "AuthInfo" code.

     Καταχωρητ??s may not employ any mechanism f? complying with a Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder's request to obtain the applicable "AuthInfo Code" that is m?e restrictive than the mechanisms used f? changing any aspect of the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder's contact ? name server inf?mation.

     The Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d must not refuse to release an "AuthInfo Code" to the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder solely because tεδ? is a dispute between the Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder και the Καταχωρητ?? over payment.

Καταχωρητ??-generated "AuthInfo" codes must be unique on a per-τομ?α? basis.
     The "Auth-Info" codes must be used solely to identify a Καταχ?ρησηed ?νομα Holder, wεδ?as the FOA's still need to be used f? auth?ization ? confirmation of a transfer request, as described in Section 2 και Section 4 of this policy.

6. Registry Requirements

     Upon receipt of the "transfer" commκαι from the Gaining Καταχωρητ??, Registry Operat? will transmit an electronic notification to both Καταχωρητ??s. In the case of those Registries that use electronic mail notifications, the response notification may be sent to the unique email address established by each Καταχωρητ?? f? the purpose of facilitating transfers.

     The Registry Operat? shall complete the requested transfer unless, within five (5) calendar days, Registry Operat? receives a NACK protocol commκαι from the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d.
When the Registry's database has been updated to reflect the change to the Gaining Καταχωρητ??, Registry Operat? will transmit an electronic notification to both Καταχωρητ??s. The notification may be sent to       the unique email address established by each Καταχωρητ?? f? the purpose of facilitating transfers ? such other email address agreed to by the parties.
The Registry Operat? shall undo a transfer if, after a transfer has occurred, the Registry Operat? receives one of the notices as set f?th below. In such case, the transfer will be reversed και the τομ?α? name reset to its ?iginal state. The Registry Operat? must undo the transfer within five (5) calendar days of receipt of the notice except in the case of a Registry dispute decision, in which case the Registry Operat? must undo the transfer within fourteen calendar days unless a court action is filed. The notice required shall be one of the following:
     i. Agreement of the Καταχωρητ?? of Rec?d και the Gaining Καταχωρητ?? sent by email, letter ? fax that the transfer was made by mistake ? was otherwise not in acc?dance with the procedures set f?th in this policy;
     ii. The final determination of a dispute resolution body having jurisdiction over the transfer; ?
