[registrars] unsanctioned whois concepts (long)

[Christopher Ambler]

A very interesting suggestion, IMHO. What would that key index? Would the
gaining registrar then use that key to retrieve the correct data from the
losing registrar? 

It would be very easy to add a key as an option to the RegWIRE proposal,
Tim.

Rick,

Not sure I agree entirely with Mark's ideas either. But in regards to
transfers, it is only a problem as long we continue to assume that the
only way for transfers to work is to have them start with the gaining
registrar. There is a better solution to transfers that would not rely
on whois at all and would drastically reduce the potential for disputes
and fraud. Have them start with the losing registrar who provides a key
to the registrant and the registry upon request (the losing registrar
has most accurate info to determine if it is a legitimate request) and
the registrant can take that key to the registrar of their choice and
complete a transfer in seconds.
