RE: [registrars] DRAFT Standard form for use by losing registrars after a transfer is initiated

["Tim Ruiz" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Bruce,

I would prefer to see these forms defined more as a concept than
something we have to implement verbatim. For example:

=======================
Salutation

Domain Name or list of domain names
(Needs to account for bulk transfers with the same admin contact)

Purpose of email: [Your sample text here]

Instructions: [Your sample text here]

Signature block
=======================

Then we don't have to quibble over exact verbiage.

Tim

Subject: [registrars] DRAFT Standard form for use by losing registrars
after a transfer is initiated

Hello All,

Further to my posting on a Standardized Form of Authorisation,
Recommendation 11 (b) and (c) refers to the ability for a losing
registrar to independently confirm that a registrant has authorised a
transfer AFTER receiving notice of a pending transfer from the REGISTRY.

Below is a modified version of the form of authorisation for use by a
losing registrar AFTER receiving notice of a pending transfer from the
REGISTRY.

Note that no other text is able to accompany this audit message,
although losing registrars are free to separately provide marketing
information aimed at retaining the registrant.

Again I would like feedback on the message.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
