Personally, I think that the losing Registrar *should* confirm with the
Admin contact before a Registrar transfer goes through.
I didn't like the Register.com email, as it was not very clear, and even if
you did click the link, nothing seemed to happen. But in principal it's a
good idea.
As long as people transfer well in advance of the expiry date, an extra
couple of days on the transfer isn't going to have any adverse affects,
surely.

Not only a pain, isn't it a violation (in spirit, if not actuality) of the ICANN Registrar Agreement?
I understood that the WINNING registrar is responsible to verify the authenticity of the request, and that the LOSING registrar may only deny the transfer request for a few reasons (authorization not received NOT being one of them).
This is an interesting turn of events, given the flak that Register.com has taken over their "please authorize this transfer" letters. At least this one is direct and clear; RCOM's is just obtuse and misleading.

Has anyone else seen this before? This is the first of my users to get such a message from Network Solutions. I guess they are sick of bleeding transfers and are doing the Register.com thing and requiring an affirmative response now.
What a pain...
