I just transfered 2 of my domains from OpenSRS (EV1) to DirectI. All process took not more than 25 hours. I'm impressed, to say the least. Heck, all my transfers before that took not less than 5 days (quite often upto 7-8!).

Have something changed in transfer regulations since the last month?

Was it an EPP based name? I have transferred EPP based names within the same day

One of them - yes (.org). One, however, was .com

Nope nothing has changed. You can thank the losing registrar for the speedy tranfer as they had almost everything to do with it.

Yes, Tucows/OpenSRS is VERY transfer-friendly. For those who are so used to waiting for at least 5 days because of the inaction of eNom, you now get a taste of how transfers could and SHOULD be done. ;)

Now if only registrar transfers are as quick as DNS propagation. :D

But I wish...

I move name from namemonkey to godaddy in about 6 day. 25 hour I no believe

Neither namemonkey nor godaddy were involved in the transfer I wrote about. Losing registrar was OpenSRS, gaining registrar - DirectI. It took ~15 hours to receive all emails and another ~10 hours for domains to appear in my DirectI account. 25 hours total.

Most registrars who wait the 5 days do so for security. It gives them a chance to NACK fraudulent transfers. Every registrar that has this policy has always processed a manual approval (after verfication) when I asked nicely.

Yes, 5-6 days is normal for the losing registrar to handle their internal verification. In the case of EPP names I have noticed they are quicker to approve the transfer away

seems some opensrs still using the old method

i remember i transfered many names for less than 12hrs before nov 12th rule took place

Nov. 12th rule??? <confused> What's that?

losing registrar doesn't sent an approval notice only the gaining registrar and within 5 days the domain gets transfered if its not locked without the losing registrar doing anything

Sure, I was aware of this, but somehow I thought that were speaking about November 2005...

My fastest transfer was 15 minutes. However it was from Wildwest to Wildwest.

It's called 'push' and usually doesn't take even 15 minutes. Couple of seconds, perhaps... ;)

It was from a Wildwest reseller to Bluerazor. Had to fill out the typical approve/deny emails, so I assumed it was a transfer.

wow 15mins, was that before the transfer policy by ICANN or after?

Hi Bashar,
It was a couple weeks ago. As soon as I accepted the transfer at the losing registrar (Wildwest reseller) and went back to check my email, a email had already come from Bluerazor saying, "transfer completed".

could be because both owned by the same company (godaddy) happened that fast.
