NSI are awful. You may find NSI will make it very hard to trasnfer your domain elsewhere. Good Luck.
Actually, when transferring a gTLD domain the new registrar can initiate the transfer. Register.com provide a web interface to this, which is painless and doesn't involve interacting with NSI in any frustrating way.
Unfortunately NSI have unilaterally changed the rules. They now automatically cancel all tranfsers unless the name holder contact responds positively to an e- mail from NSI asking if they are happy with the change. The ICANN Registrars mailing list has more details. Registrars are having hundreds and thousands of requests cancelled by NSI. NSI claim you have five days to respond but often their e-mails don't go out until Day 4 etc. SOme registrants have tried three times to transfer with no luck.
