Philip,

Just to clarify, the domains business has its own dedicated crack
development team, as do the other product lines. And believe me they
are all kept plenty busy. Speaking for the domain business, the last
6-8 months have been wrought with Registry/industry imposed migrations
& other changes (.org, IDN, WDRP UK positive renewals etc.) which has
unfortunately taken us away from delivering other desperately needed
features such as bulk changes (& the list goes on). Heck even this new
Transfer spec will require some dev time.

Greg has put together a really good set of requirements for Bulk
Changes that I think will answer all your collective needs. Now if EPP
v1.0 doesn't cause too much trouble and ICANN doesn't delay Transfers
2.0 too long we'll all start seeing these much needed enhancements as
the year progresses.

Cheers,

James
