It does seem that this is going to make life difficult for a bunch of pretty normal business processes.
If you didn't know about it either... ask yourself why not.
Although I'm not a member of the WG that defined such policy, having seen the many occasions where domain hijacks occurred, I'm totally fine with the outcome. I only see real impact for "wholesale" registrars, like OpenSRS, eNom and Endurance, since they have to figure out a way to be compliant with policy without actually having contact with the registrants, and this kind of problem will continue to haunt them as they just operate a way for companies to operate in the gTLD market outside of its framework.
