As does your earlier proposal "I still believe that the only way to safely
handle transfers is with proper identification via fax or some other mail
delivery." There quite a few ways that transfers can be effected without
having to resort to a paper. Object authentication and exchange is one...

? I wasn't aware that names could be tranferred between registries. Can you
elaborate?

erm. There are no duplicates Leah. computer.biz.icann is inherently
different that computers.biz.pacroot. There can only be one name per root
with the same attributes in the same way that two pieces of matter cannot
occupy the same space. Please don't short-circuit your roots by
interconnecting them. This breaks things. For anyone that might be interest
in more of my views on this subject, you might want to check out the piece
that Tim Denton & I wrote on the subject. It still needs some polish, but
the basics are there..."A Case For Predictable Driving" -

"No cases were found for the name CV2001-018340."

Do you have any other pointers? The search engine at the Arizona Superior
Court didn't help much as the above text indicates.

Take care,
