The only thing that will stop it is if the scammers are punished severly. Until that time, this is our only defense against them. At least we have a defense. > Don't get me wrong here.

"Two-party consent" is what Netsol has implemented on their own, and we can all see where that has gotten us. If we all will remember, the gaining registrar authentication scheme came about due to competing registrars' fears that Netsol would do their best to impede transfers. As we all know, Netsol made sure that the process was left open ended so they could still impede transfers all they wanted to.
