ICANN provides "control" of a domain name to the Administrative contact. We believe that is the best, and really only, contact to send authorization for transfers (within the construct and limitations provided by email communication)
As for "breaking a rules", ICANN does not provide any guidance as to HOW a gaining registrar must "verify authenticity" of a transfer. If Enom is comfortable in sending information this way and is aware of the implications this might import, then it is really up to them. Speaking for OpenSRS (and personally), I think it is a poor decision and not something we should consider too seriously.
