• The registrar change request is made by the new registrar. It is the auth-code given by the holder to the incoming registrar that validates this request.
• The outgoing registrar receives a registrar change notification:
  • If the outgoing registrar accepts within 8 days, the registrar change is immediately validated.
  • If the outgoing registrar refuses within 8 days, the total duration of the registrar change operation is extended to 22 days before validation. The outgoing registrar may still accept the transfer before the 22 days.
  • If the outgoing registrar does not react within 8 days, the registrar change is immediately validated at the end of the 8 days.
