Netsol's procedures only apply to Netsol sponsored domains. Since your domain now resides at OpenSRS, OpenSRS procedures now apply. > I filled in the transfer domain request using the RWI, but i typed in a new > registrant address and the new registrant name instead (thsi is actually the > correct registrant address and name, the old one was outdated - and more > importantly the registrant name had also changed). > > After the domain name transfer was completed, the reflected Registrant NAME > and address in whois.opensrs.net are now different from the Old one.

OpenSRS will not show a domain in WHOIS until they are the authoritive registrar, so it has "propagated" as you say. Check the registry and see who the registry lists as the authoritive registrar. It should be OpenSRS/TUCOWS. If so, anything that netsol says is wrong. They are not authoritive for the domain, so they cannot make statements about the domain. This is actually a known problem at netsol. They maintain a lot of invalid out-of-date information. > Is this always the case during a registrar transfer? for netsol to change > the registrant NAME, there had to be a RNCA process, which included a > notarized form. You just said netsol DID NOT change the registrant name. The authoritive registrar (OpenSRS) shows what you typed in (you corrected outdated informaiton). This is exactly what is suppose to happen. I don't see what the problem is; just remember that anything netsol says about a domain that they are not authoritive for is completely irrelavent.
