Question:
 
What if I want to use a different registrar or want to transfer my domain out from PAKNIC to another registrar?
 
Answer:
 
Registrants will continue to be able to transfer their registrations to other registrars under the ICANN approved Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy (http://www.icann.org/en/transfers/) after the first 60 days following the bulk transfer. This 60-day period is permissible under the Inter-Registrar Transfer Policy, and is intended to help protect registrants. We strongly recommend, the registrant should renew their domain names that will expire during the first 60 days period in order to avoid losing the domain name.
