You may get this error when you execute a Transfer for a Domain Name (except a .EU Domain Name) from another Registrar to Gossimer.
In order to ensure that, an Authorised person is placing this Transfer Request, we send an email to the Administrative Contact of the Domain Name for authorising the transfer. We need to fetch the e-mail address of the Administrative Contact from the Current Whois Record from the Losing Registrar.
If for some reason we are unable to contact the Whois Server of the Current Registrar you will get this message. There are two things you can do at this stage -
1. You would have received an e-mail with instructions on sending a Fax authorisation for these transfers. You can use that fax authorisation to action the transfers.
2. You can simply wait for upto 48 hours. We would attempt to contact your Registrars Whois server for the Administrative contact details every hour for 24 hours, and even try the same manually. In almost all cases we will be able to send the Administrative Contact E-mail within 48 hours.
This process would not be applicable for a .EU Domain Name, since the Authorization mail is sent directly from the Registry to the Registrant Contact’s Email Address.
