Slightly OT Lock your domains

[Walter Dnes]

  Quite a few members here have personal domains, or administer domains
for clients, so this is of interest...

  ICANN has ordered a new domain-transfer policy effective today.  See
http://icann.org/announcements/announcement-12nov04.htm for deatails.
Executive summary...
  good news; it's a lot easier to transfer domains
  bad  news; it's a lot easier to transfer domains

  ***IF YOU HAVEN'T LOCKED YOUR DOMAIN***, and
  - Registrar-X sends your registrar a request for transfer to them, and
  - your registrar sends a request to comfirm/reject, and
  - you do not respond within 5 ***CALENDAR DAYS***

  The ***DEFAULT*** response is to transfer the domain as requested.
However, if the domain is locked, the transfer does not go through.  So
see your Registrar about locking your domains *NOW*... or else forget
about that one-week cruise vacation.
