[CPWG] Transfer Policy Review Team: Question about the 60-days lock

Wed Nov 10 12:52:18 UTC 2021

This is very good news.

The framework of operations for domain transfers seems to be quite 
robust.

However, I note that ICANN does not have contractual authority to 
require a registrar
to transfer a domain name back to a different registrar or registrant, 
even
if a transfer was the result of an unauthorized access to your email 
account or
other login credentials.

Sincerely,
