Re: [registrars] Transfer request from Joker.com

["Siegfried Langenbach" <svl@nrw.net>]

Dear Sir,

1.) I consider your mail as a support for those which request that the 
losing registrar has to check if the transfer is valid, which I also 
support. IMHO it is the duty of the losing registrar to protect his 
clients from false transfers. As most registrars have resellers, the 
registrars can never be absolutly sure about a transfer (no matter 
the reason, could be mistyping).

2.) joker.com never makes an owner-change (as some registrars 
offer) at the same time as the transfer. An issue I do not remember 
have seen mentioned in the Transfer Draft. That said I do not 
consider the domain lost for the owner. If perhaps a false owner-
change was initiated afterwards, I do not see a problem to return the 
domain to the original owner.

3.) Please let the case be reported at www.joker.com -> support -> 
transfer issues with all the details and joker.com will start an 
investigation.

P.S. to BobC: it seems to me that republicans not only in Iraq fire 
before asking   :-((
