Re: Re[4]: [ga] Domain Transfers

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

I will ask the individual (ISP) who had the experience if he or she wishes 
to report the incident(s) to this list.  It was not a chain of people as you 
insinuate, but rather the person who was handling the transfers directly.  
I do not indiscrimately report incidents on this or any other list.  At the 
same time, I do not use names unless I have permission to do so.

Additionally, I have had others relate similar situations to me, but, 
again, do not report them to this list.  I would not have mentioned this 
incident had you not made your comment.  IMO, it is not a good idea to 
make categorical statements such as yours and then not expect to see 
a refutation of that comment.  I also do not really feel compelled to 
provide you with specifics on any one incident that may be the basis for 
possible actions on the part of the parties to it.

I will say this, however.  When I transferred in excess of 20 domains 
from NSI, the gaining registrar warned me that there was always the 
possibility of domains being lost during the transfer and that it had 
happened in past.  I spoke (on the phone) to more than one registrar, all 
of whom told me the same thing.  Domains are inadvertantly lost during 
transfer occasionally and there is a risk.  Gaining registrars will not take 
responsibility in such cases, so you must weigh that knowledge and 
make your own decisions.
