Dave, OpenSRS does not currently support cancel/delete for the customer, but our regular deletion policies are still in place (and being modified, notification will come out on this).
Also, it does say that the form of authorization is at the descretion of the registrar - BUT, EPP demands that a transfer request as the auth_code as part of the transaction. Without the auth_code, the transfer request fails immediately. And only the current (i.e. losing) registrar has access to see the auth_code. <resent to list with permission from Dave> Charles Daminato TUCOWS Product Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Sun, 16 Dec 2001, Dave Warren wrote: > 3.2.
