I've decided to bite the bullet, and to move all my names. It seems to be taking forever as I have to move each one individually. the ops are
- check expiry date
- check email address, and update if required
- unlock names by keyword
- get auth code by individual name
- add another $1,000 to the gaining registrars account if it's running low
- enter name into a transfer list
- check email for transfer confirmation
- authorise transfer
- check transfer list at gaining registrar
- get another cup of coffee
