Standardized forms were explicitly one of the policy recommendations approved by ICANN.  While I understand Tim's concerns with over-regulation and formatting, the benefit of standard forms is that both gaining and losing registrars have a greater sense of reliance on the other party following proper procedures and not sending deceptive marketing.  This is particularly important for losing registrars, which no longer have the right to nack if they don't hear back from the customer.

Thanks

I think this is going backwards.  There was previously agreement on a
template (standardized form).  The recommendations that were approved
included the use of standardized forms.

That aside, why can't this need be met with a standardized form?  That's
really not hard to do as I see it.
