No current schedule. The work has taken a backseat to other issues.
Unfortunately, our agenda has been victimized substantially over the
last year as we reacted to crisis' created elsewhere (.net, .com
agreements). The plate will continue to be "too full" as long as the
settlement agreement is taking the lionshare of our attention.

I'd be interested in learning more about this process. I'm aware that
many registrars were denying all outbound transfers, but unaware that
some were actually manually verifying all transfers out based on a
personal relationship with their registrants as Jim implied. I suppose
it is possible on some small scale, but hadn't considered it doable on a
large-scale basis.
