I think in the case discussed here this is quite different. Not only
that NSI is not a hosting company, when you transfer a domain there's
already one confirmation request coming from OpenSRS. Why should both
registrars need such a confirmation? As I understand OpenSRS would be
taken for liability if the confirmation on their side isn't valid. I
would also imagine this is pretty standardized by ICANN probably. So,
there's no second confirmation necessary and especially not only one
year after the transfer system started. We all know that many clients
tend to overlook email or just don't get it at all or too late. And
they sureley even less understand why they now have to confirm twice
with a tine gap of a week between the two requests and to two
different parties.
The aim of this second email by NSI is clearly to hinder the transfer
process, they are building up an additional barrier to transfers.
