The advantages of partial bulk transfer (if created) enjoyed by
registrars might be enjoyed by registrars' customers. At the risk of
repeating myself, we should make sure that GoDaddy and others are able
to use partial bulk transfer to provide new services to its customers if
it chooses. I am not suggesting that we require registrars to offer any
new service nor that registrants should somehow be able to obtain a bulk
transfer without a registrar providing the service.

 

However, to Mike R's BIG point. Despite what seemed like clear IRTP
rules, when they were written, some registrars are still making it very
difficult to transfer out. Registrars current bulk transfer services,
including GoDaddy's, are hampered if obtaining authorization codes or
unlocking domains at losing registrar is difficult or tedious.
Complaints about this problem is probably the biggest reason for the
several IRTP PDPs. Let us remember this underlying dissatisfaction with
the current process as we discuss every issue.
