Domain Locking, sometimes referred to as Registry or Registrar-locking, is the service provided by registries or registrars to "lock" a domain name so that it cannot be transferred or altered without the explicit permission of the registrant. If a lock is in place, the registrant must request that the name be "unlocked" before such changes can be made. In February 2021, the GNSO initiated a Policy Development Process to review ICANN's transfer policies. It was spurred in part by policy considerations associated with ICANN's Temporary Specification and Expedited Policy Development Process in response to the EU GDPR.
