Hi Jo,

We're finding with our new transfer system in place, that a number of 
transfer requests are being 'ignored' by the registrant email contact.  
By that I mean, the requests are neither rejected nor approved, which 
lends to the argument that the emails are not current or relevant to 
the domain.  As you're well aware, the bulk of registrant emails in the 
registry are inaccurate, whereby the original reseller has not 
accurately portrayed the registrant in the contact details, or the 
frequent change of a the registrants email over the years has not been 
synced with the registrar by the registrant.

Could we have a timeout clause.  Whereby, if the request is not 
rejected or accepted within a set period (e.g. 5-10 days) the domain is 
automatically transferred to the requesting Registrar.  This would 
obviously be stated in our request email, and would solve the problem 
of inactive registrant email address'.

I'm interested in your opinion.

Thanks,

Nick
