I've poked eNom at their registation-pending address to see how to get this
process started. We'll see what they have to say about it. I don't expect
them to be deliberately obtrusive in the process of getting this transfer
going; just bureaucratically annoying as is expected from a registrar :)
They haven't got any "personal" vested interest in the situation (the
previous donor did, and she and I are most likely not on speaking terms any
longer) so I can't imagine they'd deliberately try to stop our effort.

I believe so, yes.

This is what I've asked about in my email to eNom. Hopefully they respond
soon.
