Once everything is transitioned over ... will the former Whois information be updated?? I mean, we're not going to potentially lose these .ORG registrations, are we? Thanks.

Only difference will be 5 days added to the expirey date, not much else.

One .Org I might lose is with StarGate - they were down Saturday becuase of the Worm problem. I requested the transfer at Enom but SG's systems were all down. According to what I understand this .Org will not be available again for another few months.
I tell people to transfer their domains months before expirey - not one to listen to my own advise sometimes
