Ok, can someone please confirm that I have understood this part correctly
(http://www.icann.org/correspondence/cochetti-to-lynn-16jul01.htm)
My understanding is that other Registrars can enter into a mutual agreement
with NetSol that Registrants will send in a letter within 5 days to confirm
the transfer otherwise NetSol will decline it, or continue with the email
confirmation as it is currently.
"Under the new interim practices, the VeriSign Registrar will enter into new
Registrar-to-Registrar Transfer Agreements with other ICANN-accredited
registrars who mutually maintain an autoACK posture on transfers. Any
gaining registrar participating in these mutual agreements who do not wish
to have their proposed transfers autoACK'd by the losing registrar must
agree that it will provide, within five days of a request from a losing
registrar, a notarized statement from the registrant involved corroborating
the registrant's desire to transfer (failure to do so voids the transfer.)
If the registrant is in a location where there are no notary public services
available, as is the case in some locations outside of the United States,
then the gaining and the losing registrars can agree on an alternative,
equivalent form of verification for the transferring registrant. Registrars
who do not wish to participate in this interim, mutual arrangement to
protect customers, will continue fall under the VeriSign Registrar's current
practices."
Personally I think it is a good idea for the losing Registrar to confirm it
with the Registrant/Admin/Tech contact, as we have experienced instances of
domains being transferred to other Registars without the Registrant's
knowledge or permission (after much shouting and trans-atlantic phonecalls
the receiving Registrar blamed it on an "administrative error"). The problem
I have with the NetSol method is that it only gives 3 working days to
respond - make it 5 days, and I'd be quite happy with it.
