Re: Contacts after a Domain Transfer

Registrars SHOULD change contacts upon an incoming transfer, because the
same registrant might have more then one domain name from the same registry
with this registrar.

So upon incoming transfer of a domain name, a registrars software should
first check if this client owns other domain names, and re-use contact
information from those domain names on the incoming transfer.

Most registries create copies of contacts when a domain is transferred, so
if the client does not own other domain names, you might use these contacts
and insert the contact handles into your own database. Or you can create
new contacts, whatever you want. Please clean up the mess afterwards...


Kind regards,
