Re: [ga] Advisory: Availability of Bulk Transfers in Individual gTLDs

[Andy Gardner <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Marika,

When an ex-Registrar's customer database is passed on to the gaining  
Registrar, do you just hand the whole thing over, or do you strip out  
the data belonging to old customers who no longer have names registered?
I ask this because when databases were handed over to Directi in the  
past, it appeared that they then used that information to spam old  
customers of the ex-Registrar.
That's not good.

Regards,
