Additional notes on a .ml transfer
The .ml registry has two platforms: a manual platform and an EPP platform. Transfers of domains that are registered on the EPP platform are handled realtime; transfers of domans that are registered on the manual platform can take up to a few weeks to be processed, due to slow uptake by the registry. If a domain is not transferred instantly, consider it a manual transfer with corresponding delays. Unfortunately it is not possible to see this before you start the transfer.
