RE: [registrars] Reliable InterRegistrar Data Transfer

Bhavin,

Actually, I don't think you want to black list the way you suggest.  It may
in fact be a registrar doing the proper due dillegence before a transfer.

For example, a lot of registrar, when they receive a transfer request, will
do a whois, grab the admin contact email address, and email a key to the
contact that must be clicked on in order for the transfer to continue.  This
is all done prior to the actual transfer request being put in to the
Registry.

If a transfer request was fraudulent, it would be caught by the gaining
registrar, and no transfer would actually be initiated.  However, a whois
request to you would have been initiated.

I suspect that you don't want to block based on this, as you would be
blocking registrars who are taking the time to verify transfers prior to
initiating them at the Registry.

Rob.

A transfer request actually goes to the registry after the whois request
so there is no direct online verification mechanism. Nevertheless we can
write a script to monitor any registrar who is sending whois requests
for domains which then later have no transfer away requests, and
blacklist those registrars
