Re: [ga] Domain Transfers

["L Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

While it may be more cumbersome, I still believe that the only way to 
safely handle transfers is with proper identification via fax or some other 
mail delivery.  When I transferred domains from NSI to Dotster, I had to 
provide copies of ID's via fax along with other information, including 
current phone (which they verified), etc.  Since then I believe they have 
changed things so that it can be done via web interface, but that does 
bother me.

IMO, changing registrars is as critical as changing registrants and 
should be handled just as securely.  It may mean an additional cost, 
but it seems worth it to ensure safe transfer and eliminate hi-jacking.  I 
would rather have it take an extra couple of days and know for certain 
that my domains are protected.  In addition, if a domain is lost in transit 
and the original registrant can show a paid invoice for it, it should be 
automatically recovered whether it was deleted or not.  This, IMO, is a 
fatal flaw in the process that allows hi-jacking and wrongly protects both 
the gaining registrar and the hijacker.  It's an error in the system and 
should be handled as such.
