The registry automatically adds a year at expiry time. The registrar has 45 days to delete the name, and it will be refunded to them. If the name is transferred during these 45 days, the monies are automatically refunded to them. So, really, NSI is denying a transfer simply because they can. Not because it will cost them money to allow it, but just because. You pay for a year to the registrar -- this means that they won't send a delete request after the 40-45 day window. The registry really doesn't care what goes on in this 45 days or so. -kb -- Kris Benson ABC Communications +1 (250)612-5270 x204 +1 (888)235-1174 x204
