Hello,
Well I got the idea that they didn't know what they were talking about
when I talked to them on the phone, but when I actually put the transfer
request in about 18 days before it was set to expire, my customer received
the following message:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dear XXX XXXXX:
Because the domain name, XXXXX.COM, did not meet the criteria to change
registrars, Network Solutions/Verisign has instructed the Registry not to
change the registrar.
Specifically, the domain name didn't meet the criteria because:
It is not in a paid status at Network Solutions/Verisign.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Now this is what throws me off... Any ideas what to do? The domain also
still shows up as Pending Registry Approval.
Thanks,
Nitin Agarwal

Welcome to the world of clueless NSI employees. If you telephone them and
ask the question, they will always give the answer you received. However,
in real life, what they say is not true. In reality, unpaid status in
determining registrar transfer ability occurs on the actual domain
expiration date. HOWEVER, this is no excuse to wait until the day before
expiration, you should always submit your registrar transfer request as
soon as possible to avoid the stall tactics that NSI is beginning to
deploy. You will not lose any registration time by transferring a domain
away from NSI but you will usually gain security advantages so
transferring sooner rather than later makes perfect sense.
