Thatś the official line from EUrid? I always had a low opinion of EUrid and its technical competency but that is really off the wall.
The TRADE aspect looked a bit strange - as if it was meant (on first glance) to facilitate the moving of domains between registrars rather than registrants. Though it may be there to facilitate such a move. The big question is if the EUrid mob has even implemented it or has launched a half complete system.
These jerks should never have gotten the contract. It is a tribute to EU incompetence that they were even considered.
A potential interim solution would be to change the contact and nameserver details and leave the registrant details until last or until the EUridiots get a a system in place to facilitate owner transfer.
