I am continuing to have a few problems w/ some name transfers between registrars.
I own rights to the names, have unlocked them, have, in the case of .info, .biz, .us, forwarded the AUTH codes to the new registrar, and initiated transfer. All of my contact info is correct.
Problem is, I am getting this message from the new registrar:

We were unable to complete your transfer order to Registerfly.com due to errors returned by the registry. A detailed list of the error message(s) returned appears below:

Domain Name:
--------------------------------------------------------------
example.com

Response from registry:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Canceled - domain contacts did not respond to verification e-mail

I never received an email from the current registrar to verify the transfer, and furthermorer, it is my understanding that a verification is no longer necessary according to the new ICANN rules designed to streamline this process.

Any ideas as to what the problem might be?

The only response I recieved from RegisterFly, is to check w/ current registrar,GoDaddy, and find out why they are not releasing them. GoDaddy is "looking into the problem", but as of now, has failed to respond.

Yes, RegisterFly sends out a confirmation to the registrant and admin contacts of the domain name. If you do not approve them within 5 days(I think) the transfer rejects. I would do a whois lookup make sure the registrant and admin email addresses are accurate.

I had a similiar issue moving a name out of an israeli drop registrar, it took 3 attempts to finally get it out.

TX Riceman.
One prob, is that I have attempted transfer of 3 mos worth of renewals and have been bombarded w/ about 1,000 emails. Determining why some have been successful, while others have not is perplexing and makes no logical sense.
Additionally, I don't recall receiving any confirmation requests from either registrar. GoDaddy has sent emails informing me that the request has been made, (only on the transfers that later went through, I believe), but these emails do not require a response, unless the transfer *was not* requested.

Riceman

I have much experience transferring names out of godaddy. If you PM me one of the domain names that cannot transfer I might be able to determine where the confirms might be sent to.

consider and calculate your hours spent thinking about this and working on this,
than calculate how much your time is worth in the job place
now how much has your domain price risen???
im curious grilla ???

harpo

its frustrating for me when this happens because it just takes to mmuch time
hours seem to breeze by with domain learning, hopefully we are enjoying the process along the way., take it easy renew them at the current registar then have a year off, thats what i did it cost me a few dollars per domain but its worth it
good luck grilla want to see you come out of this smilling.

Grrilla

A big thankyou, Riceman. PM on the way.

Believe me, I have considered this, but my primary issue here is not one of money. Saving $3/ name w/ approx 100 names = $300 divided by approx 15 hrs= $20/hr.
The larger picture, here, is one of principle.
I know what the transaction and logistical procedures for transfers are supposed to be.

What I don't know, and what I am learning about, is the how's and why's of the breakdown of the system, which would not be an issue and which I would not have to learn about, if the other parties involved, were operating correctly and according to the established guidelines and procedures.

Since posting about this, a week ago, I have taken the easy road and renewed the names that were close to expiration w/ the current registrar.

I have also regained my inner calm and composure, but have not lost my resolve to "squeeze" the system until it works properly and conforms to the procedures and guidelines that have been created for it.

In other words, I'm a stubborn SOB, and am comfortable living w/ that, in certain, select circumstances.

Double check the email listed on all contacts of the old registrar, and make sure your ISP or local email software is not filtering them out as potential spam. Godaddy emails have lots of similarities with spam and often get filtered.

GoDaddy IS the problem.

They are one of the worst registrars to transfer out of.

Fortunate, or Folly?
Dunno yet, although early indicatins are positive. Have had 2 inquiries, and a couple of them are being looked at quite a bit over at SEDO. I regged most of them in April.
Stickier fingers than most? All the more reason to move them out.

had been awake 32 hours when posted

Grrilla

I was under this impression myself, but so far, it doesn't seem like eveyone is following this policy. I've been doing alot of transferring, of late, and they ain't goin through rapidly, in fact, most have been failing, and the excuse I've been getting is that no confirmation email was recieved, although, the registrar didn't send me a confirmation email to return.

It seems that half of the policy is being followed, but it's more like no transfer, instead of slow transfer, and forget rapid transfer.

QBert

yeah, ive got an error from godaddy and namecheap about failed transfers because i dident reply... perhaps i miss understood the policy...
