The requirement is in Rule 2551 already:
The winner of a lot SHALL pay the Auctioneer the number of the
Auction's currency equal to eir bid, in a single payment, in a
timely fashion. When e does so, the Auctioneer SHALL transfer the
items in that lot to that winner in a timely fashion. If the
Auctioneer is not a person, then a person authorized to cause the
Auctioneer to transfer those items SHALL do so in a timely fashion
after the winner pays the Auctioneer, instead.
Since zombies aren't actually assets (thus, strictly speaking, can't be
"transferred") the amendment in Proposal 8023 redefines "transfer of zombie"
to mean "flipping the zombie's master switch" and says it CAN be done by
the Registrar after a payment, thus authorizing the Registrar to make the
"transfer". This makes the "SHALL transfer" in R2551 work and make sense.
(that's the theory anyway - if it still doesn't parse let me know!)
