Hello All,

I spoke with out compliance department today, which handles transfer complaints for both our wholesale and retail businesses.

The numbers are so low that we don’t have any formal tracking of transfer issues, and I wonder if this will even be particularly enlightening.

We’ve taken part in something like 4 TDRPs ever, none in the past couple years.

There is however a low level number of complaints and issues around transfers we typically deal with informally between ourselves and another registrar. This includes both gaining and losing issues.  Apparently we deal with ~12 of these a year.

As our model is primarily wholesale, it’s safe to assume there is going to be at least some transfer issues that are dealt with at the reseller level without reaching us, but the volume is low enough not to generate any material issues.

Food for thought.

Graeme
