AI yet :)</div>

<div>Basically, if the system thinks the ownership has changed, it will
trigger the lock. However, if we're requested to review it
and we find it was just something like correcting typos we
will usually unlock it. In some cases we might do a little
more due dilligence to be certain.<BR></div>

Yes, somebody else mentioned that to me off list, to which I
replied:<BR>> <BR>> I think that's a liberal
interpretation of this paragraph:<BR>> <BR>> "A
domain name is within 60 days (or a lesser period to be
determined)<BR>> after being transferred (apart from
being transferred back to the<BR>> original Registrar
in cases where both Registrars so agree and/or where<BR>>
a decision in the dispute resolution process so
directs)."<BR>> <BR>> Because in the next section
the exclusions specifically define the<BR>> transfers
as between registrars:<BR>> <BR>> "Instances when
the re! quested change of Registrar may not be denied<BR>>
include, but are not limited to: ...<BR>> <BR>>
Domain name registration period time constraints, other than
during the<BR>> first 60 days of initial registration
or during the first 60 days after<BR>> a registrar
transfer."<BR>> <BR>> It could be that sloppy text
in the first paragraph opened the door to<BR>> this.
If a registrar is worried about the change of registrant they<BR>>
should satisfy themselves before executing it, it's a
separate issue<BR>> from a registrar transfer.<BR>>
<BR>> This is just a tactic to try to keep the domain
via auto-renew or<BR>> hoping<BR>>
the new owner is lazy and forgets after 60days and just leaves it
there.<BR>> <BR>> -mark<BR>> <BR>>
