Re: Transfer Notification a requirement?
3.7 Object Transfer [6] The protocol MUST provide services that allow the original sponsoring registrar to approve or reject a requested object transfer. ............... ........... [8] Object Transfer requests MUST NOT be acted upon without giving the losing registrar an opportunity to respond to the request... Unless [8] implies that a notification needs to be sent to the losing registrar to approve or reject giving them an opportunity - In which case i t needs to be clear, even otherwise notifying the sponsoring registrar to approve or reject the transfer should be a requirement. Note that the protocol MUST provide this service. However, it is a policy decision whether the registry actually implements this. As said before, the Dutch domain registry doesn't allow this. The old (or ``loosing registar'') has some time to comment on the transfer, but when there is no adequate reason to halt the transfer, it will happen anyway. This to prevent a registrar taking a domain hostage, because there is a conflict between registrar and registrant. Something that happened a lot when we allowed the old regsitrar to veto any transfer. jaap
