After several discussions with end users who were new to domain names, it seemed to me that we needed a guide to show how fast and simple transferring ownership of a domain name is, along with a brief explanation of things like push, 60 day lock, etc.
I wrote the attached guide, mainly intended not for domain investors (although it may be helpful for those very new to domains, hence the posting here) but rather potential end users. I plan to link to it myself when communicating with potential purchasers who have never bought a domain name. In case you would find it useful also, here is the link.

It is the first in what will become a series intended mainly for domain novice end users.
As always, welcome suggestions and comments.
