What's with this?

[Mr Webname]

Just went to transfer a .org to Enom and got this:-

"EPP transfers (Use for .info, .biz, .us, .org and all .cn domains)
This transfer type requires you to enter the current authorization key for each domain.
No further verification (such as fax or auto verification) is required for these domains.
Authorization keys are obtained from the current registrar."

Can't see any mention from other registrars but I cannot transfer without providing an authorization number, like for .info. Anyone else done this successfully?

Never seen it with .org .. in fact, from dotster:

"An authorization code (AUTH) is only required for transferring .BIZ, .INFO, or .US domain names. This code is provided by your current registrar."

Thanks for the link, which I had not followed to its conclusion - relevant info is:-

"I also asked Enom about using the AUTH CODE for .ORGs and the registrar cannot provide it. Enom told me:

Hello,

When transferring this domain enter NA for the AUTH code and it will process fine. Hope that helps.

Which seems to have worked in initiating a transfer request - will see if it gets completed.

I actually didn't see the last comment on the old thread either. I am trying again...
