> Section 6:
> I think the legend and Diagram 6, still do not match.
> The legend shows the shaded boxes as "Gaining Registrar", and the white

> related to the Losing Registrar BUT they are shaded..

> Perhaps, a better legend would be:
> - shaded box - Losing Registrar
> - white box - Registry

> Section 8:
> Para 8-b and sub 8-b-i, refer to section "9.a.i above"..  I think your
mean
> "8.a.i"

> Appendix A:
> Entries 'NACK' and 'Non-acknowledgement of Transfer Request' - to be
> technically correct, perhaps it should state "Negative-acknowledgement of
> Transfer Request"..  After all, stating Non-acknowledgement could easily
be
> interpreted as "Non sending an acknowledgement", whereas
> Negative-acknowledgement could only mean "Sending a NO response"..

> And a question or 2 -
> With 'Registrar Lock', we know there are some unscrupulous Registrars who
> do implement the lock on all the domain names they support..  Some of them
> do not give the Registrant any control over the lock and refuse to remove
> the lock (or may remove it after the Registrant jump through various hoops
> and additional costs)..  The document clearly states the Registrar cannot

> consideration of some way to force the release of the lock ???
> Typically it would show up with the valid registrant wishing to make the

applied

> Otherwise, great job well done..  IF all the Registrars do agree to play
by
