[registrars] Undue pressure?
Dear Colleagues: I wonder whether the request for transfer authorization is the proper place to promote a registrar's interest? Further, the text I've highlighted in green shows that Register.com is *still* naking if the Admin contact does *not* reply. When is the new transfer policy going to be official? Regards, BobC Begin quote from Register.com's Email to registrant: We recently received your request to transfer your Web address: xxxxxx.com Please follow the instructions at the bottom of this email to process this transfer.
