Re: Transfer question

[Fagyal Csongor]

Hi Ben,
Well, users A and B will have different admin contact addresses, right? 

     

Right. Actually that IS the problem.
   

Actually, they may well be the same person -- when I replied to this I
was for some reason thinking "transfer" as in "transfer of ownership",
not "transfer of registrar".  Most often it probably WILL be the same person.
 

Well, in this case it's both. A very regular thing at our company.
Yep, but how do I explain this to user B? I mean he gets confused, 
because a "transfer order" looks exactly like a "register order"!
   

What do you mean here?  Granted the RSP notifications for transfer and
new registration are virtually identical; is that what you're talking
about?  (what has that to do with the end-user?)
 

Basically I am talking about user B coming to our site, and clicking on 
"Transfer domain" :-) Then he provides authentication for his profile, 
gets his contact data on the next page, and then submits a transfer 
order (note: the process looks _very_much_ like that of a new registration).

user B *thinks* that if he HAS TO provide his contact data, then these 
data WILL BE used after the domain is transfered. (Why would he need to 
provide those data otherwise?? I also think this _sounds_ a logical 
question.)
   

You mean the "please provide your name and daytime work phone number"
that user A provides?  During a transfer, the old user (B) doesn't have
to do anything except click a link, if I am not mistaken...?
 

Nope. The issue is not during the transfer authorization phase, but 
before - right when the transfer order is submitted.

But no, the "old" data is (correctly) retained. So what user 
B experiences is that "alien" contact details show up right in his profile.
   

Oh, you are talking about a case where the domain is an OpenSRS one both
before and after the transfer?
 

No :-)
But... well, I think that wouldn't make a difference.
Pardon me, feel free to ignore all of this; I have a growing feeling that
I've fully misunderstood the issue at hand. :)
 

Okay :-) Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I hope I could explain it above.
