Bravo Notes on Inter-Registrar Transfer
ICANN Transfer
Policy (Effective
as of 1 December 2016)
document at: https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/transfer-policy-2015-09-24-en
excerpt below:
II. Inter-Registrant
Transfer (Change of Registrant)
c.
Change of Registrant Process
1.2
The Registrar must
impose a 60-day
inter-registrar transfer lock following a Change of
Registrant, provided, however, that the Registrar may allow
the Registered Name
Holder to opt out of the
60-day inter-registrar transfer lock prior to
any Change of Registrant request.
There
are many other similar references to such opt-out throughout the entire
document. I am convinced that ICANN has explicitly deemed that such
override (of the hold imposed) is at discretion of registrar.
