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.
It's worse than that AFAIK. I applied to transfer two domains on 15 Aug. On 17 Aug, OpenSRS sent me a confirmation email. I confirmed that same day. Todate, I've heard nothing from NSI.
I am not surprised. Have you contacted the ICANN BOD and staff about this problem? Not that it would do any good in that ICANN is in bed with Verisign/NSI...
No, I have not. I've only tonight emailed my registrar about this but I don't expect to hear back from them until tomorrow (it's 0032 here in Ottawa). I'm not really worried about one domain, but I certainly wouldn't want the other domain slipping from my greasy little hands. What courses of action do people suggest?
Get a good lawyer. Pursue your legal options. Other than that, presently you have not viable courses avalible.
Are we getting off topic?
Most likely...
And the saga continues...
My feelings for NSI were severely tainted by cock-ups about a year ago (http://www.freebsddiary.org/freshports-offline.php) and then extreme problems later on trying to change DNS information. This involved several overseas phone calls and faxes in order to fix the problem. I've just been waiting for the domains to expire before switching. At least this time, I can call them toll free.
