As a former reseller...

We used to deal with pretty much all the issues we encountered as best we could 
before escalating it to the registrar

Thanks, Graeme, appreciate the info.  And interesting to note that resellers 
might be resolving these issues with their own customers, rather than involving 
the sponsoring registrar.  I don't know that we had considered that.

Thanks again--

J.

Hello All,

I spoke with out compliance department today, which handles transfer complaints 
for both our wholesale and retail businesses.
The numbers are so low that we don’t have any formal tracking of transfer 
issues, and I wonder if this will even be particularly enlightening.

We’ve taken part in something like 4 TDRPs ever, none in the past couple years.

There is however a low level number of complaints and issues around transfers 
we typically deal with informally between ourselves and another registrar. This 
includes both gaining and losing issues.  Apparently we deal with ~12 of these 
a year.

As our model is primarily wholesale, it’s safe to assume there is going to be 
at least some transfer issues that are dealt with at the reseller level without 
reaching us, but the volume is low enough not to generate any material issues.

Food for thought.

Graeme
