I totaly disagree that the current RSP should have no say in transfers,
whether to another RSP or to another Registrar.
What happens if a client registers the domain, charges it back through his
bank and then has the domain transferred to another RSP or Registrar?
OpenSRS should check with the current RSP prior to approving transfers away
from OpenSRS by a RSP's client. And all clients are RSP clients, as OpenSRS
states that they do not sell directly to the retail public.
Given the quality of service at OpenSRS, with the excellent method of
allowing retail clients to manage their domain names, why would a client
attempt to go to another Registrar unless there was a problem with the RSP?
Given that, OpenSRS should check with the RSP to determine the problem
before taking action.
If the RSP is the problem, then OpenSRS should take steps to remove the RSP
from the system. But I suspect 99% of the problems will be the client, not
the RSP.

Good points, but there are few situations when it would be absolutely
imperitive to move a domain to another RSP in a matter of hours rather than
days. I agree that the current RSP should have absolutely no say in the
matter. From earlier posts, it appears that an automated method of
transferring between RSP's is currently being developed. Like most things
OpenSRS, the development of the management capability seems to lag a bit
behind the demand for the same.
