When answering their survey, and if you say you've transferred a domain in
the last 6 months to Tucows, it says:

How did you or your company authorize the transfer of the domain name?
  __ My ISP did it for me
  __ Through their customer service organization
  __ E-mailed a form
  __ Mailed a form
  __ Directly on their web site
  __ Faxed a form
  __ Never authorized the transfer
  Other (SPECIFY) ____________

None of the answers appear to be suitable.  Shouldn't there be one, like:

  __ Submitted the request to the new registrar, who in turn, emailed the
admin contact, had the admin visit a website with a temporary password.
Waited serveral days. Went to register.com and confirmed the transfer on
their website too.

Instead, I can't help but think we'll see some headline in the near future
which says:

REGISTER.COM SURVEY REPORTS 70% DOMAINS TRANSFERRED WERE AUTHORIZED BY ISP
AND NOT BY DOMAIN OWNER

..or some other silliness, due to the way the question/answer is worded on
the survey.
