RE: [registrars] Third Draft Standard form of authorisation for use by losing registrars after a transfer is initiated

["Rob Hall" <rob@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

MessageI think that is correct, BUT;

The gaining registrar must have recieved the confirmation from the standard
confirmation request that they sent out.

If the Registrant does nothing (ie: does not reply to any of the
confirmations), the transfer can be Nack'ed (actually, it should never be
officially started at the Registry).

So a Registrant who is not contactable (ie: bad email address) or a
Registrant who replies to nothing, will not have the domain transfered.

Rob.

  Elana/Bruce,

  As a followup from Gary's question:

  If I read this correctly, losing registrars can no longer NACK a transfer
if a registrant does not respond to an email confirmation.  Correct?

  In other words, the transfer must be allowed by the losing registrar even
if the registrant ignores the confirmation request from the losing
registrar.

  Tom

      But just so that I am clear. The losing registrar email is only
designed to
      be an alert to the registrant (thereby providing them with an
opportunity to
      block the transfer) and therefore the registrant is not required to
      undertake any further action to complete the transfer process.

    Dear Gary:  There is a related element.  The Admin Contact may request
and authorize the transfer.  Notification of the registrant is a different
matter.  We have had cases where a hosting service, which was also the Admin
Contact, elected to order a transfer.  Subsequently, the registrant objected
and demanded that the domain be returned to PSI.

    I think there could be a few cases like that in many bulk transfers of
500 to 1,00 [sic:  Sorry, 1,000] domains.
