Hello, Has anyone done a transfer lately (past week or two) out of NSI, to OpenSRS? I'm not sure if they've changed their policies (after they went and locked all their domains under management), based on the new ICANN transfer rules.
In particular, they used to email the NSI registrant (admin contact), to let them know of the transfer request, and allow them to approve it, or deny it (i.e. this was in addition to the gaining registrar's transfer request). This would typically happen a day or two after the gaining registrar made the transfer request to the registry. What was great was that if the registrant approved the transfer, NSI would go ahead and "ACK" the transfer, and thus it would conclude much faster than the default (i.e. waiting the full 6 days). Is this still happening? I'm working on a transfer now, but they've apparently not sent out anything after 2 days. Waiting 4 more days would suck, if they've changed their process when losing a domain. :( I know some registrars (e.g. eNom) don't send out any notice at all that there's a registrar transfer request, when they're losing the name, and thus there's no easy way to have the domain transfer complete faster (let alone the security implications of not notifying the registrant).
