[ga] RE: Principles and Processes for Gaining and Losing Registrars

["Ross Wm. Rader" <ross@tucows.com>]

I've never been personally comfortable with this clause. It is too
entirely binary to be effective in practice. I would throw the question
back to the GA as to how Registrars could best protect themselves and
their Registrants in situations where the Gaining Registrar is clearly
acting against the interests of the Registrant, has not appropriately
implemented the processes described etc.

I'd be pleased to take any and all suggestions back to the table for
review and refinement...

It strikes me that under this proposal while the competing registrars
are 
busy throwing punches at each other, registrants will be unable to have
their 
transfers processed.  While this may serve the needs of certain
registrars, 
registrants should not be held hostage to the registrar community while
you 
folks thrash out your differences.  Would you mind going back to the
drawing 
table and drafting some protections for the registrant community in the
event 
of disputes between gaining and losing registrars?
