everybody who is concerned about their domains
read carefully this thread

these new rules ARE NOT what almost everybody thinks,
your domains are not in danger even if it's not LOCKED,
5 days rule is for REGISTRAR (the company through which you registered the domain and want to move the domain from) not REGISTRANT (you)

This 5 day larky only happens after the registrar has received an approval from you. Here's a breakdown of 2 scenario's:
------scenario 1------
1. email is sent to your admin address requesting authorisation for transfer.
2. you click the link and approve the transfer.
3. the registrar has 5 days...if they don't respond, then it automatically is approved.
------scenario 2------
1. email is sent to your admin address requesting authorisation for transfer.
2. you read the email but do nothing and delete it.
3. carry on, nothing changes!
