[registrars] Grave Robbing and SEDO Fencing

[Lau]

Ok, let me rephrase...

If the Registrant and Admin are fraudulently changed, and then a Transfer is
processed, then according to the TDP and the Gaining Registrar, the transfer
is fine. 

If however, the Losing Registrar agrees that the listed Registrant was not
actually the Registrant due to an internal error or fraudulent change, then
yes, I can see that the TDP would apply.

Any real world experiences where the Losing Registrar admits to a fraud
happening on their end when the Gaining Registrar is fighting the TDP
(claiming that all process was followed)?

Thx

Richard

The subtlety that tends to get missed is that the transfer policy hinges 
on whether or not the registrant, or the admin at the behest of the 
registrant, approved the transfer of registrar. I am not sure why this 
has been interpreted as "if the admin approved it, it must be good", but 
this has been the case since the policy was implemented. If the 
registrant hasn't agreed to it, even if the admin has, it is technically 
a bad transfer.
