Hello Everyone,
In the past I always got the transfer request from the registrar of the person to whom I was transferring the domain to.
I approved the transfer request if I agreed.
Then I will get an email from my registrar notifying me of the transfer and asking me to cancel the transfer if I disagree or if I agree then do nothing and the domain will get transfrred by a certain date.
Last week I got email from my registrar informing about a transfer of my domain to someone. I was told that if I do not respond or cancel then the domain will get transferred by a certain date.
I did not get any email prior to that from the registrar of the person who requested the transfer and I never approved any such transfer. Then why would my registrar send this email authorizing the transfer without my approval.
What if I do not check my email for few days and never see the transfer? Then the transfer will proceed as I won't be able to cancel it by the date mentioned in the email.
I asked my registrar why are you authorizing transfers without my approval and I am told that its the new transfer policy by the ICANN and it is applicable to all the registrars so they can't do anything.
I have now protected all my domains so that all the transfer requests get denied automatically. But I am still not convinced if this is the new transfer policy by ICANN ... it sounds so stupid.
Just wondering if there has been a change to the domain transfer policy by ICANN?
Thanks,
