[registrars] .net thick/thin discussion

[Jens Wagner]

Thats right. However RRP cannot be used as it doesn't know about 
auth-codes. So a transition to (thin-)EPP would be required in that 
case, too.

How should transfers from thick to thin be handled? Should the registry 
just remove the contacts from the domain?

To initiate a transfer from thin to thick, all contact handles must be 
provided beforehand (to keep the system consistent). This would require 
some EPP extension, and complicate the transfer process for thick 
registrars, so the registrars could not perform business on an equal 
basis anymore. I think we should not have a mixed thin/thick model.
