    Eric,

    I'm asking the question primarily from the registrar perspective. As in,
    does it make sense to give registrars the option of providing a service to
    their customers that will block any transfer request from another registrar?
    I'm leaning towards "yes", leaving the decision to use such a service (which
    could of course be undone or removed if needed) up to whomever might find it
    valuable.

    Hi Scott,

    I think you can do both things in both ways -

    a) blocking fraudulent transfers of V.I.P. domains with auto-NACKs or LOCKs
    b) delay/block legitimate transfers with auto-NACKS or LOCKs

    But clearly LOCKs are handled at the registry level and therefore are a
    stronger means
    for a) as well as b)

    So the question would be: let the registrars do the work or the registry?
