Hi Bruce

Thanks for that.  I still don't see anything of substance being (a) implemented
and more importantly (b) enforced to fix the gTLD transfers process any
time soon - ie within the next 12 months.  

I hope I'm wrong though - perhaps our compatriot Mr Twomey will make all
the difference...

regards
jon
