<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>I have a dumb
question.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>If the Registrant is "Domains by Proxy",
the godaddy service, then how did you get permission to transfer the domain
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have never seen "Domains by proxy" answer
a transfer request in the affirmative. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>Given that they are the Registrant, and you
need their permission to transfer the domain, how did you get the proper
response to the transfer authorization email you had to send out
?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>So long as "Domains by proxy" is the legal
Registrant, they are the ones you need permission from, and they are the ones
that must say yes to the transfer authorization email.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you applied for a transfer from your
Registrar without "domains by proxy" giving you the thumbs up to the
Authorization email, then it may be you and not Godaddy who is in violation of
the transfers policy. No one else can possibly authorize the transfer
other than "domains by proxy". Anyone else claiming to be the Registrant
is simply wrong.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suspect Godaddy is correct in their
denying the transfer, as the Registrant of Record did not authorize
it.</FONT></DIV>

<registrars@gnso.icann.org><BR>><BR>> We're trying to transfer in a
domain that has been sold to our customer<BR>> by a godaddy
customer.<BR>><BR>> The domain is currently in "pending registry approval"
yet the seller<BR>> tells us that after he confirmed the transfer from the
godaddy side,<BR>> godaddy still denied it because he had whois privacy
turned on.<BR>><BR>> Is this accurate? Is this how godaddy does it? Even
if the rant has<BR>> turned off the registrar-lock?<BR>><BR>> How can
they nack a transfer that has been confirmed by the registrant<BR>> on both
sides (gaining and losing registrar), and if so, is there a way<BR>> to
"unstick" this failing transfer before the 5 day timeout so we can<BR>>
re-initiate?<BR>><BR>> Normally we would just wait it out but this is part
of a sizable domain<BR>> sale transaction under escrow so both sides are a
little skittish.<BR>><BR>> If anyone from the godaddy side can check it
out, email me for the<BR>> domain in question, thx<BR>><BR>>
