DomainNames, Mate you're way off base about Registrars, well speaking for a group of 5 or so anyway. COR's are a pain in the ass for us, we need to train staff, need to answer about a billion questions/complaints from Registrants, we either need to allocate resources to a manual process, or invest development time to build automated systems. Even with an automated process some registrants still want to use a manual process as they don't have or don't want to use a credit card.
There are very few COR's on a monthly basis, the ones we do would represent about 0.000001% of our monthly gross revenue.
So I'd **much** rather we just went in line with gTLD's where users can update their own Registrant contact. We provide the interface and that's the end of our involvement. I can't imagine there is a Registrar out there thinking they are going to make money out of COR's. Generally a high cost of COR isn't reflective of a cash grab but a deterrent to actually having to do the bloody things.
Awesome to see your support on FREE Change Of Registrant.
Let's have the auDA Policy Review Panel make the required policy update suggestions now formally and auDA Board / auDA / Afilias etc can make it happen 1st July 2018 without further delays.
Everyone wins.
