[registrars] Godaddy locks domains in for 60 days after a rant change

[Jay Westerdal]

Mark,
You are correct, GoDaddy have been openly violating this policy
for over a year. The only way around it is to email Tim and ask
that your registrar be put on a whitelist. I believe Mark Monitor
can put in a transfer request and it will go through even if in
this 60 day GoDaddy rule. It would be nice if all Registrars
followed the same rules.

I'm noticing that after a Godaddy user moves a domain to another Godaddy 
account, or changes the registrant info of a domain, they are enforcing 
a 60-day no transfer-out rule.

I don't think that is permissable under the policy posted at

http://www.icann.org/transfers/policy-12jul04.htm

Which only provides that the losing registrar can deny a transfer if a 
domain is within 60 days of the initial reg period or 60 days of a 
previous registrar transfer.

Has this come up before?
