ICANN-accredited registrars who mutually maintain..."

"The ICANN community" = VeriSign and the registrars that work with it?

"Any gaining registrar participating in these mutual agreements who do

registrant involved corroborating the registrant's desire to transfer
(failure to do so voids the transfer.) If the registrant is in a
location where there are no notary public services available, as is
the case in some locations outside of the United States, ..."

Maybe those outside the US are getting fed up with this CARTEL

something about this before some member of the European Parliament
wakes up. Please?
