Question for Nominet

[texidriver]

Why send out a letter at all ? it is so 1990s.

Why not send a link to the admin email address of the domain and get them to approve the transfer.

i.e. .com auto-verification transfer

Because, how could they justify a big fat fee to make the transfer?

6. On the anonymity point - I have always said that I find it difficult to understand how people who want us to accept them as professional business people can hide behind anonymity.

Are you speaking of anonymity on whois, or anonymity on this forum,
or perhaps anonymity as owner of a TAG ?.

Exactly. Why make changes to benefit everyone if it involves hitting income?

Because tagholders like me, who host the domains of other people on our servers, could quite easily hijack the admin email of any one of those domains and transfer the domains to whoever we wished.

has the thought of a PGP email sent to nominet to transfer a domain? as nominet accept PGP for everything else. just a thought...

Erm, Nominet is a not for profit organisation, they don't charge money to make profit. They charge because it costs them money to carry out the process.

Hazel,

It seems like you can hijack a Nominet transfer form to.

There are more .com's transferred this way everyday than .co.uk in a week.

Also even ICANN has a transfer dispute policy:

Perhaps there is a need for a "Lock Status" as there is with .com etc.?

For the record; "lock state" is back on the agenda too.

I meant on this forum. Though I suppose as a purchaser I would feel equally mistrustful of a seller who wanted anonymity, unless I understood and agreed with a specific set of reasons in a specific circumstance.

Perhaps it is because there are so many idiots and nutcases on certain forums quite willing to slander you and a pseudonym gives you a bit of privacy from that. Probably when it happens to you you will realise why,

Oh Hazel, please be realistic.

Its easier to have the transfer forms sent to my location and apply for the transfer that to have my email address hijacked.

Nominet are just trying to cream as much off as is possible.

At least these issues have made it to the PAB table next month......

http://www.nominet.org.uk/digitalAssets/7714_PAB-QUESTIONS-NOMSTEER-27Jun06.pdf

1. Domain name transfer (process & Payment)

2. Lock State

3. Warning period when opting registrant back-in

Well done James.

Well done James.

For the record, I have already broached these issues with Nominet but felt it prudent to formalise them at the PAB table. Personally, I can see no logical reason why No.2 and 3 would fail to get approval but No.1 is a bit more controversial and needs further discussion. Please remember, just because an issue gets raised doesn't mean those wishing to raise it will necessarily get the result they seek: there are 15 other PAB members with varying standpoints, and democracy rules... at least, I like to think so.

If you have something urgent, I can try and slip in this time round, under Urgent Business (time permitting).

1&1 Policy

It is now 1&1's policy to automatically redirect every new domain registration to a Sedo parking page. All proceeds going to 1&1 of course and is indiscriminate of proposed customer use. So with Nominets policy on parked pages and the DPA - where do they stand now? :???:

As the song goes - I see trouble ahead... :mrgreen:

...quick arn't they?

I presume that there is a DOCUMENTED Policy & Proceedure for opting someone back in... If there is - can someone show me where it is please?

Many thanks in advance,

Sneezy.

I'm waiting to hear of the first customer to loose a DRS as the direct result of an ISP doing the above, because a Complainant took advantage of the occurance. Do these ISPs optimise the domain names to "relevant" results or are they merely parked at a generic lander?

That is the question - the nail on the head. The s is about to hit the f for some innocent/ uninformed registrant.

...they are optimised to display relevant results based on the text contained within the domain name.

As you say - there's serious implications for the DRS also!
