Hey guys, The real issue problem is not Netsol dragging their feet with Transfers -- which I agree they do -- but lack of any authority to override bad actions. Other Registrars are doing the same with domain locks. Just today, [EMAIL PROTECTED] presented a bad action and there's no one to appeal to really! Jamie gives up. Marilyn offers "sunshine." It's the wild west out here.
In the SMS/800 world where two-party consent works fast and well, there is a Help Desk. Got problem? Appeal; done! A help desk would be supported at the Registry level. SMS/800 gets only $4/year for about 20,000,000 toll-free numbers and they have a staff of 10-14 to take care of these kind of problems, always are the Registrar level. End users cannot directly access this resource. Verisign Registry, in contrast, has no override and and it seems no oversight. No wonder they have their way with us. WLS anyone?

Do anyone think that the scams are > just going to stop happening??!! The only thing that will stop it is if the scammers are punished severly. Until that time, this is our only defense against them.

Given that, if I were ebay.com I would lock it down as > well! "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.
