Dear Tom:  You are addressing the most important element of the transfer 
problem.

Some registrars give their resellers a very long leash -- if any at all.  I 
frankly don't trust some of the reseller networks.

And how about the reseller's resellers networks; and the reseller's 
resellers' resellers?

We're a long long way from the original Code of Conduct provisions:-(  Few 
of these registrants have any idea who is the real registrar.  I think 
ICANN should look at the problems created by these broken lines of 
authority. Certainly I would like to put the resellers' RRA Agreements 
through the scrutiny that *we* Accredited Registrars must contend with.
