Hi Chuck,
I agree -- this is not illegal. Anticompetitive? Of course! That's why they
changed their policy, to stop the bleeding. They also require a 72 hour,
one-at-a-time reply which (impoved security?) make transfers very painful.
I'm even OK with the new policy. It's the abrupt change without warning that,
I believe, amounts to an unfair business practice. They should have given us
notice so that I could adjust my tranfer rate to avoid their trap.
Best, Loren

I wouldn't call this holding the domain hostage - OpenSRS does not allow
tranfers past day 0 either (we put the domain on hold). Not to say that
what NSI is doing is right (it's a rather abrupt change from their older
policy), but afaik they aren't doing anything illegal or anticompetitive
(if they were, then we would be as well *ick*)
