My view on transfers is a little different then what I've seen so far here.
I can see three transfer possibilities
A) External to RSP
B) RSP to RSP
C) RSP to external.
External can be NetSol, or anyone else, I don't really know or care.
>From my point of view, the user shouldn't have to know or care that the
losing registrar/RSP was and OpenSRS RSP, or NetSol, or anyone else, the
process should be just a smooth. That's why we have/use resellers, we don't
need the average user to even know what Tucows or OpenSRS is.
>From the end user's point of view, it must be as simple as a (A) transfer to
complete a (B) transfer. I've only done one from NetSol, and it went very
very smoothly, just a single confirmation email, then a single follow-up
from NetSol telling me they authorized the transfer.
I don't see any reason that the policies should be any different, give the
losing RSP 5 days to block it, otherwise just put it through, same as a
registrar->registrar transfer.
I know and understand that underneath, OpenSRS isn't quite ready to "just
transfer" a domain, but that will come I assume. I'm more interested in the
RSP point of view, and even more so, the end user's point of view.
The last issue, which is quite different, is (C). In this case, is the RSP
given the chance to block it the same way a "real" registrar would? Is the
RSP notified at all?
