RE: [registrars] Rejection transfer requests 30-45 days prior to expiration.

Bob,

I think this would be prohibited by provision #14, as long as we are talking
about "future" payment.

14. In the event of dispute(s) over payment, the Losing Registrar must not
employ transfer processes as a mechanism to secure payment for services from
a Registrant (the Losing Registrar has other mechanisms available to it to
collect payment from the Registrant that are independent from the Transfer
process.) Except for non-payment for previous registration period if
transfer is requested after the expiration date, or non-payment of the
current registration period, if transfer is requested before the expiration
date.

See http://www.icann.org/gnso/transfers-tf/report-12feb03.htm#rec14

However, I will defer to Ross' expertise in this area :-)

Mike
