I want a "transfer process" that is inherently difficult, if not broken, for domain names that are business assets. I don't care about "competition" between registrars, or how much I get soaked for by the registrar and registry, or how evil and/or retarded one or both are.
The problem that got us here was that registrars have historically been not flexible enough at releasing domains when the owners *did* want to transfer them. What you are saying, is that you want to have either a level of service at registrars, or a new registrar with the additional level of service, that instead of being easy to deal with in moves, is designed to maximally ensure safe handling of your important corporate identity. I think this is a clear and wonderful business opportunity. Just expect to pay more for it... -george william herbert gherbert@retro.com
