Re: [registrars] Q: are registrars allowed to deny transfers-out

[Quote Section A.3]
Instances when the requested change of Registrar may not be denied include, but
are not limited to:

    * Nonpayment for a pending or future registration period

    [...]

    * Domain name registration period time constraints, other than during the
first 60 days of initial registration or during the first 60 days after a
registrar transfer.

Seems to me that expired domains apply to one or both of those bullet points and
should not be blocked.
