Transfer experiment

[paul]

I thought in light of the recent announcement about stopping certificates I would try to reduce some of the time and paper involved in transferring a domain, so i've just started a little experiment.

1. I agreed to buy a domain last night from someone in Ireland
2. Paid via bank transfer which he got straight away
3. He faxed me pages 1 & 2 of the transfer forms this morning together with his covering letter. (would have been better if he could have scanned & emailed it but never mind)
4. I filled in my sections of the form and produced a covering letter and emailed to Nominet.
5. Nominet have confirmed receipt of documents and are processing it.

Time taken less than 24 hours

I want to do paperless as well but nominet need to do email checks, can we try and get that pushed through please? Email checks for every transfer, a kind of click here to let it go through or respond to email to confirm?

I am doing more scanned / email only transfers with ID checks - all good.

I never do ID and always use PGP signed e-mails.

Had to fight some bureaucracy on Nominet's side, as some employees were always not aware, but now this works smoothly

It's only stupid lawyers now, who do not believe signed forms from me is all that is required. (What are they only paid for..? Their pretentious intelligence pisses me off.

Couple of questions for rob & vizzy.

How do you pay CC? I'm not that keen on sending my details via email.

What do you send them, fax, image file or PDF?

cheers

Just a quick update:

The domain was transferred today

Think I'll be doing them all like this from now on
