RE: [registrars] Call for registrars to participate in an implementation analysis for TRANSFERS

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@verisign.com>]

Bob,

I suspect that this is none of my business, but I would like to suggest that
Tim makes a good point.  If we ever expect to come up with a solution to the
transfers issue, it will be critical to find agreement with the overwhelming
majority of registrars because it more than likely will require registrars
to agree to amendments to the RRA and possibly the RAA.  In my opinion,
involving registrars who have been on opposite sides of the fence in
constructive dialog could be an effective way to make this happen.
Moreover, in the last few months, I have seen an increased willingness by
lots of registrars to work cooperatively toward finding a solution so I am
encouraged.  I would suggest that all of us work together and put history
behind us.

Merry Christmas,  

Chuck

Perhaps that the very reason to have them involved.

PSI-Japan *strongly* objects to having Register.com participate in the
implementation task force.  Register.com has been one of the most
objectionable in their handling of transfers.

By contrast, we have had relatively few problems with NSI.  We have a
contract with NSI, a "reciprocity agreement".

As a result of recurrent problems with Register.com, we have imposed a
policy of nacking all requests for transfers to Register.com.
