Personally, I can't comprehend how the default for something like that would be "Yes",Because, if the ISP is bankrupt, the "YES" will never come.
And that's a problem because of ...? DENIC (the registry) claims to have a direct contractual relationship with all domain holders (not "owners", registering a domain doesn't grant you ownership, at least most of the time).
And I'd like to see you scramble to get your domains from a bankrupt hoster to another one, waiting for that simple "yes" to your transfer, which will never come as all lines have been cut and not a single bit will ever come from their /24 or /16 again...
In theory, you would resolve such a problem with DENIC. In practice, DENIC doesn't have the infrastructure to deal with bankruptcy even of a small DENIC member/registrar.
IMHO (and several others more involved in the domain-trading biz)
The problem is that domains are used for more things than just for domain trading. The current focus on easy domain transfers might have made sense a few years ago, but now there are some major stakeholders which will simply put DENIC out of the loop if the DENIC processes can't guarantee stable delegations, for whatever reason. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
