[edit] ACK / NACK

In general the Administrative Contact and the Registered Name Holder of a domain are the only parties that have the authority to approve or deny a transfer request of a domain from one registrar to another. In general data provided by authoritative WHOIS database. The gaining registrar shall use a standardized form of authorization issued by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) to acquire confirmation of transfer. The Registry Operator receives a receipt of the transfer from the gaining registrar. The Registry Operator transmits an electronic notification to both registrars. Within five days the Registrar of Record can send an ACK (acknowledge) or NACK (deny) for the transfer.

[edit] Disputes

Bouncing transfers have been a source for somewhat "grey-listed behaviour". NSI was a leading part in making the policy being a source for frustration and grey hairs. An escalated discussion on the matter from 2001 ended in the policy issued by ICANN in 2004.

The problem was in large part as a result of sole email verification giving the loosing registrar the disputed right of sending an NACK to the transfer. Admin-c applied with registrar instead of registrant e-mail, misspelled e-mail, non-existing e-mail and so on resulted in big difficulties and lot of cancelled transfers. Also a very little cooperative mind regarding bulk-transfers was a repeated cause for disputes.
