Chile improve registrant transfers

[brettf]

Chile, hardly world leaders in domain technology etc, but none the less seems like if they can do it, there's no reason it can't be done in .au. You'd probably just need to slightly alter the view we have on the legal status of a domain/license.

Interesting, and good to see.

What's the exact reasoning from auDA for the charge of COR's Brett? That a change in license incurs a legal fee for them/Ausregistry?

No it's because from memory they say the license can't be assigned from one party to another as the gaining party hasn't entered into the Registrant agreement with auDA.

So with a COR one party effectively gives up the license and the new party enters a brand new Registrant agreement with auDA. Because it a new Registrant agreement it's a new license/period.

It's basically legal jibber jabber. That if you put your thinking hat on for 5 minutes you could probably come up with solutions that don't involve a new license happening.
