Re: [ga] Suggestion for Registrars: Consider Allowing Registrant "ACK" for Outgoing Transfers

[Jeff Williams <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

George and all,

  Yes, and nicely stated here George.  What ICANN should do is
issue a mandate that all Registrars must have "ACK" implemented
in no more than three months from the date of the issuance of the
mandate letter date which is sent to each Registrar...  If any
registrar fails to have "ACK" implemented by the end of the
three months, it's Accreditation will be immediately revoked,
and further administrative and/or legal action may be considered.
