I have first hand knowledge of this happening.
It's unclear who was to blame for the original administrative error that
caused this name to be included (they all seem to be blaming each other).
But regardless, NSI as gaining registrar did not confirm the transfer with
my client who was properly registered with OpenSRS at the time. The name was
transferred from INWW(MIT)- where it no longer resided? to NSI with Namezero
back as the registrant. Before we transferred it to OpenSRS, the records at
INWW properly showed my client as registrant after we paid Namezero to opt
out of their service.
Compliance is aware of the situation and we are awaiting a response as to
whether it will be possible to get it back onto the OpenSRS system w/o
incurring a renewal (& registry fee). Obviously, neither my client,
ourselves, nor Tucows should have to pay for this to be corrected. Question
is who will?

As well, I would like to ask Mr. Radar whether or not he has any information
of domains being "hijacked" from OpenSRS.
both
domains were transferred (from OpenSRS) to the competing registrar WITHOUT
permission from the actual Registrants.
Once again, the statements above are second-hand, so I cannot confirm the
information given to me. However, it is interesting to bring up into
conversation the possibility of this occurring and the accountability
registrars have or don't have in these situations.
