Quoting a portion I got when I clicked Transfer-Out in my account (the button
between Lock and Delete):
We have heard loud and clear that the majority of our customers would like for us to keep our high security and domain theft prevention policy in place which provides us the ability to deny any transfer requests that we consider to be invalid and/or fraudulent. We have therefore implemented a new transfer out manager that automatically unlocks your domains for a period of 10 days. If a transfer request is not received by the gaining registrar within 10 days, your domains will automatically be re-locked and protected in your account.
The Transfer Out Authorization Form below allows us to begin the domain theft protection verification process and unlocks your domain name. We will receive a copy of your completed Transfer Out Authorization Form and then perform an executive and staff review of your request to ensure its validity to the best of our ability. You may receive a follow up email from our executive, sales, or support team once we have received your request. You will then receive a verification email from our system to approve as a final security procedure before your domain leaves our system.
Although the new ICANN policy makes it even more difficult to ensure that all transfer out requests are valid, your support and compliance to our security procedures will greatly assist us in this effort.
There's a form after that. If you're transferring your domain name out, you will
have to follow that process.
I realize some people will be pissed off with this. But I guess that's one reason
why Moniker prides itself as being the most secure registrar.
And since I value security a lot, this is good enough for me.
