FROM AN ICANN COMPLIANCE POINT OF VIEW REGARDING THE LOOSING REGISTRAR: - the registrar sends the Auth Code to someone who is not the registered name holder
IME the majority of registrars send the EPP codes to the *admin* contact
*****JMB - Yes, this is what we do as well.
- the registrar does not even send it at all
Are ICANN siggesting they'll start doing something about the repeat offenders of that little 'trick' ?
*****JMB - Registrars are required to send it within 5 days of request, but I agree that enforcement is problematic and inconsistent.
FOA related: - the registrar does not send the FOA - sends it to someone who is not a Transfer Contact
A Transfer Contact - what's that ? I've only ever heard of Regsitrant, Admin, Tech and Billing contacts
*****JMB - IRTP defines the Transfer Contact as either the Registrant OR the Admin Contact. But as you¹ve pointed out, in practical terms & thin registries, the Admin Contact = Transfer Contact.
REGARDING THE GAINING REGISTRAR: - the registrar sends the FOA to someone who is not a Transfer Contact
See above
- the registrar allows the transfer without receiving confirmation after sending the FOA
How does that compare to the 'it happens anyway after 5 days if no-one said no' policy ?
