The transfer will automatically complete within the five (5) day waiting period. The rationale for 60 days for all as I understand : Once a domain name hijacking has been discovered, the responses to it tend to vary. The registrar is sometimes able to return the registration to its original state. However, if the domain name was transferred to a different registrar, this can prove to be difficult. This is especially true if the registrar is in a different country. There have been many cases where the original owner of the domain has not been able to regain control over a domain that was hijacked. ICANN mandates that 60 days makes the process of hijacking a domain a real tough task. The original registrant is very likely to notice the problem during the 60-day window and alert the authorities about the issue. A domain that has been transferred is also a lot harder to reclaim. This method reduces the risk of domain hijacking. Keeping the number of days same for all makes business sense to me. Need clarification on : Change of Contact Details of the Registrant.

Dear Gopal,
Thanks for your input.
Re Q3: The 60-days transfer lock after initial registration and successful transfer is today implemented in the Inter-Registrar transfer Policy. The majority of the Registries have these locks included in their RRA, but there is an option to change the 60-days lock policy in a reviewed inter-registrar policy.
Re Q4: Similar to the present option to opt-out of a transfer lock after change of registrant (COR), a reviewed inter-transfer policy can give the option for the Registrant to opt-out of the transfer locks. However, the Registrar may define in their Terms of service that an opt-out cannot be done even though the Registry allow this.
Another question is whether 60 days is the right number of days. It could be higher or lower.
Sorry for confusing wording. My intention was to get some feedback from CPWG.
Regards, Steinar Grøtterød

Dear Steinar Grøtterød,
Thank you for the queries.
My reference for this discussion is:
https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/transfer-policy-2016-06-01-en
ICANN's mandatory verification process of any details is of paramount importance.
#1:
The initial registration is frozen after a grace period. Hence I support the 60 - Day Lock - in for any further changes / transfers.
#2:
I suppose this.
#3: Registrar Only ?
Transfer is only through the Registrar.
#4:
Registrants cannot transfer.
Quick Notes:
Assumption:
Contact Updates and Transfers are separate. Contact Updates have the opt-out provision even now. Transfers do not.
Registrar & Registrant
If one opts-out of the transfer lock for contact update, one will not have to wait 60 days to transfer it. But one will still have to wait for any other transfer lock to lapse.
Whois Privacy updates are exempt from such lock-ins.
Questions for a quick check:
How does one ensure that there are no other locks ?
Are there any Generic Top Level Domains (gTLD) and Country Codes that are not effected by this policy?
Sincerely,
