On a related note, the domain transfer-approval.com is the private label
transfer site run by enom for its resellers.  It is also used by "Domain
Registry of Australia".  This site is designed such that it gives the impression
that the reseller is an ICANN-accredited registrar in their own right when
clearly they are not.

This has been brought to ICANN's attention, and you never know, they may
actually do something about it.

It is interesting to see however that resellers with the same business model
are gravitating towards the same supplier...
