It is a murky issue, but I fail to see the relevance. The clause in question
states:

"Instances when the requested change of sponsoring Registrar may be denied
include, but are not limited to:
...
2) A pending bankruptcy of the Registered Name holder
..."

If the losing registrar has been identified as a creditor in a company that
is in the process of declaring bankruptcy, the losing registrar has a
legitimate vested interest in ensuring that it's "soon-to-be-asset" isn't
transferred out to another registrar until such time that the actual
structure of the bankruptcy is declared and the asset details can be sorted
out by the relevent agencies.

It might be appropriate to include the rest of the TF in further discussions
on this subject to ensure an even distribution of issue data.
