It is very true. The OpenSRS notice is not now nor has it ever been an authoritive or required or even optional notice. In fact, it didn't even exist for quite a while. ICANN requires that the gaining registrar get authoritive permission of the registrant. If the gaining registrar doesn't follow through with the requirements, then they should be reported to ICANN. > One two occasions I can remember off the top of my > head, my users have received OpenSRS transfer notices, saying the domain > will be transfered in five days if they do nothing, on transfers initiated > by some third party they didn't know, with no prior notificaiton. We have customers in the same situation all the time wanting to know why their domain is being transferred to Enom. Little did they know they gave DROA permission to do so when they thought they were renewing the domain via mail.
