  Hi,
  Well, the 60-day ICANN lock unfortunately has no walk-around. You do have to wait out the remaining days for you to be able to transfer your domain.

  In the meantime, you can keep the domain registered on your current registrar and use it on a WordPress.com site through domain mapping. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to attach and point the domain to WordPress.com -> https://wordpress.com/support/domains/map-existing-domain/

  For reference, you can find a simplified explanation of the 60-day lock < a href=”https://help.one.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005595525-What-is-the-60-days-lock-“>here.

  Sorry, in my last paragraph above, the link on where to read more about the 60 day lock didn’t come out right. Here is the full URL https://help.one.com/hc/en-us/articles/115005595525-What-is-the-60-days-lock-
