The following was part of a note posted on WHT today. ------------- I did transfer to XXXREGISTRAR just today, I didn't receive their 'authorization for transfer' email so emailed XXXREGISTRAR's support, they got back to me within 3 minutes of the email and told me that stargate's whois wasn't working so their system didn't know who the administrator of my domain was... so the guy is sending me a manual authorization email monday. ------------- Now I am interested in the mechanics of this because domain transfers are getting harder and harder to do these days. It's not uncommon for us to have two or three in queue for weeks trying to get all the communications issues resolved.
This note appears to say that the gaining registrar can go around the losing registrar if they get some sort of manual authorization from the customer. Is this true? Can an ICANN accredited registrar (XXXREGISTRAR is both a Tucows reseller and ICANN accredited) go around the losing registrar's systems like this? -t -- myOstrich Internet http://www.myostrich.net
