[registrars] CORE and TotalNIC

["Nezih Erkman" <nezih@erkman.com>]

It's our experience that CORE/TotalNIC pair decline transfers with the
following reason:
=====
"The domain name omantrading.com is within 30 days of its expiration date,
so you will need to renew it with TotalNIC before you can transfer it to
another registrar."
=====
Note that domain is not expired but getting there. Also, they have been
declining this particular transfer even  when it had more than 30 days to
the expiration date.  I guess the reason back then was "Domain is within
last 60 days" !!!

1-Are we the only registrar that has transfer problems with CORE/TotalNIC
combination?
2-Is ICANN going to do anything about this practice? (As we all know, this
is not only for one domain)
3-What is holding other registrars start declining transfer with the
following reason?
"The domain is within last 2 years"
