Patrick Jones, Registry Liaison Manager at ICANN, consolidated and summarized comments on the BTAPPA amendment:
Summary & Analysis of BTAPPA Comments
It is unanimous that a 15-day notice of pending transfer is too short:
The timeline for registrants [us] to respond was too short . . . the timeline should at a minimum match with the grace period for a domain name renewal.
This is beyond terrible . . . ICANN’s announcement is unreadable.

If it looks like fraud, it tastes like fraud, it acts like fraud, it IS fraud!!!
