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

[Richard Lau]

I could be wrong here, but I think the section where it says:

A domain name is within 60 days (or a lesser period to be determined)
after being transferred (apart from being transferred back to the
original Registrar in cases where both Registrars so agree and/or where
a decision in the dispute resolution process so directs). 

is being interpreted as:
A domain name is within 60 days after being transferred.  
... where the word "transferred" is used as transferred between two
different registrants at the same Registrar.

Probably not what the author(s) intended, but as we all have seen, it's
the letter of the (ICANN) law, not the intent of the law, that counts.

Just my guess.
