ICANN domain transfer policies have changed as of 1 December 2016. Updates to WHOIS information are considered a change of ownership and may warrant a 60-day transfer lock.
You are able to manage your domains that have been registered. Any changes made in your registration details will show in the information that displays on a WHOIS lookup on your domain.
Important. If you are intending to transfer the domain at any point in the next few months, changes made in the first name, last name, organization name, or administrative email address are considered a change of ownership and may place a 60-day transfer lock on the domain. Read the ICANN transfer policy updates article linked above for more information.
