I agree with Dan. A formal recorded consent of the OPOC would, as
already pointed out by several of my registrar colleagues, be a 
very big change in the registration process of every registrar and
reseller. As the registrant is finally responsible for all contacts
attached to a registered name it should be in his sole responsibility
to make sure of the consent of the OPOC.

Best,
