Per ICANN, the "gaining" registrar verify that the transfer request is
valid.  This is what OpenSRS does when transferring a domain to
OpenSRS.  Some other registrars may not be performing the proper checks
and verification, instead they just blindly transfer the name.  These
registrars should be brought to the attention of ICANN to have their
accrediation revoked.
