.BR Trades and Explicit Deletions Suspended


Due to the global situation and the necessary measures to cope with it, the Governor of the Brazilian state in which our .BR provider is located is closing all non-essential establishments and ordering citizens to stay in their home, except to procure essential services.


As a consequence and since there are two in-person procedures involved in handling the .BR Trades (change of owner) when updating the registrant from our Brazilian Trustee to another Brazilian entity, our provider decided to suspend this service indefinitely. In practice, this is usually requested when transferring away a domain that uses our Trustee. Unfortunately, we cannot provide outgoing transfers for .BR domains as long as it continues to use our Trustee service. Furthermore, explicit deletions cannot be performed for .BR domains. Instead, please let domains expire if a renewal is not required any more. In three weeks the conditions will be re-evaluated and it will be determined if a .BR Trade service can be re-established at that time.


Affected are all .BR extensions such as .COM.BR, .NET.BR, .ORG.BR etc. All other domain operations continue as usual: Incoming transfers, outgoing transfers (as long as our Trustee Service is not involved), registrations, renewals, DNS modifications and contact modifications.
