hi Volker,

i'm trying to remedy the situation where a registrar is either in violation of 
the IRTP themselves (refusing to allow the registrant to transfer out) or is 
presumptively denying the registrant due process in a dispute between 
registrars.  this was recognized as an oversight in the policy back in the 
misty past when this series of IRTP PDPs was launched.

i don't care how this happens.  registrars are probably in the best position to 
figure out the best way to get this done and i'm happy to leave that discussion 
up to them.  i like James' "put pressure on Registrars to comply" approach 
since that seems like a lighter/simpler one but i can live with anything that 
fixes that problem.  what i'm not keen on the idea of leaving registrants in 
their current situation where these decisions get made "for them" by registrars 
with no recourse for trapped registrants except worldwide courts.
