March 2013 dispute over ownership of the .vg, .tc and .gd registries

Domain name registrars such as GoDaddy have stopped accepting new registrations for .vg, .gd and .tc domain names since March 2013. [1] This is the result of a dispute over the ownership and control of AdamsNames Ltd. which had been the accredited registry by the IANA for those top level domains.[2] A former partner of AdamsNames Ltd. created a new company Meridian Ltd. which claims to be the new accredited registry.[3]
