And were those mistakes worked out? Did not a couple similar things
happen by OpenSRS that were honest mistakes when doing bulk transfers
internally?
Also, remember, Namezero registered domains were not registered to the
end user, but to Namezero themselves. Some paid the $15 penalty to
get their domains, and it was these domains that were mistakenly
transferred.
Again, no slamming by NSI has occurred, and the unauthorized transfers
that have occurred were isolated honest mistakes, or were the victims
of fraud who also had their domains put back.

The fact is that the accreditation agreements already provide for this
issue. Anything more (and again, I am not talking about voluntary
opt-in registrar lock down, provided it can also easily be opted-out)
adds greater barriers to transfers from NSI to you, as well.
I can only speak for myself, but how much of your domain business has
come from transfers? And the rest of us here? How about from Tucows,
what percentage of opensrs registered domains have been from registrar
transfers?
Do we really want to add an additional barrier to that? Remember, the
current method for transfers was what the non-NSI registrars asked for
in the ICANN/NSI/DoC talks to prevent NSI from making it difficult to
transfer domains away from them.
There is a reason they asked for it to be that way.
