Geez - read my post. A transfer *against* policy is something every
registrar will have to cop flak for if they do it. That's what I said. 

I'm not supporting any breach of policy - we have rules and we all need to
play on the same field - whatever it is.

I'm pretty clearly against auDA yanking Bottle's accreditation in the way
they did. And I'm against registrars holding their tongue and hoping it's
not them in the firing line.

I have consistently been for registrars getting together and supporting each
other in the interests of the industry and our customers. Not something I
can do by myself (won't stop me trying though).

Does nobody think it a little odd and unsettling that auDA can simply
de-accredit a business that has been operating for years with tons of
customers using their services? Without any kind of review or appeal process
other than the courts? Or are we happy with auDA potentially spending
millions on a settlement - money that comes from you and your customers?

I suspect it's rather more than simply transferring domain names.  

There is also the issue of transferring significant assets from one
corporate entiry to another, without clients' permission.  Can the
registrant trust the new entity?  Does it have substance?  Does it have a
track record?  Or is it a manoevre to pre-emptiveley transfer assets?

Given the litigation in progress I must admit that I'd be rather skeptical
of Bottle's motives.

Larry, I'm disquieted by your apparent support of what appears to be a
blatant breach of contract.  Do you allow your own customers to get away
with it, if they happen to disagree with your rules?

Seriously, a transfer breach is a transfer breach - when we do it we all
have to cop it. But if registrars think that they can rub their hands in
glee over Bottle's de-accreditation by auDA, you should remember that it
could be your business next.

I'm on Bottle's side on this because it is bullying tactics, its arbitrary,
and it could be any one of us next. I'm not standing up for the rights of
downtrodden registrars, I'm standing for the right of my business to not be
threatened by de-accreditation (and ensuing oblivion) over a matter that
doesn't warrant it. I'm pretty bemused as to why I'm the only one. Surely
you don't want a regulator that destroys businesses and employment with
little notice for questionable reasons just because it can. 

If auDA is unaccountable, it will do as it pleases regardless of the
consequence - because there will be no consequence.

Now we just have to sit back and watch Larry Blocks publicity machine do
it's thing to stand up for the rights of downtrodden registrars.
