Dear Sir,

As a reseller for Enetica, we strongly support Enetica's suggestions 
re the current transfer policy & forward them as below:

>The main obstacle is the required email to and from the registrant
>contact, the obvious solution is to allow domain transfers to be 
>authorised by simply providing the domain password. If a person 
>has the domain password, they essentially have full control over 
>the domain already, the choice of who they renew their domain with 
>would be one of the least significant actions they could take for 
>that domain.
>
>The other major obstacle is the innability to transfer without
>renewing or to transfer at any time and have the 2 years added to 
>the current expiry date. This restriction is again of no benefit to 
>anyone and must be dropped.
>
>Our preferrance is to simply increase the window where a transfer
>can be done without loss of registration time from the current 90 
>days to 18 months. This would allow registrants the freedom to 
>choose a new registrar anytime after the first 6 months, and would 
>be much closer to gTLD procedures. It also prevents the licence 
>from ever being valid for more than 3 &1/2 years, ie repeated 
>transfers won't result in a licence valid for 10 years.
