Sorry, that is incorrect in this specific case (the 60-day policy). ICANN only mentions that a domain can be blocked under certain conditions (according to ICANN policy):
* Evidence of fraud
* Uniform Domain-Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) action
* Court order
* Reasonable dispute over the identity of the person authorizing the transfer
* Domain name is on hold due to payment owed for a previous registration period
* Express written objection from the domain name holder
* Domain name is in 'Lock' status (Registrars must provide
a readily accessible and reasonable means for name holders to remove the lock status. Contact your registrar for assistance.)
* Domain name is within 60 days of initial registration
* Domain name is within 60 days of a previous transfer
It is _GoDaddy's_ amendment to those points that adds the 60 day wait on registrant information changes. From ICANN:
2. A registrant change to Whois information is not a valid reason to deny a transfer request.
The problem is GoDaddy forced users to click the link that they have to abide by the 60-day policy in order to update their contact information, which they claim falls under the point:
* Express written objection from the domain name holder
which is obviously a stretch under the most lenient arguments.
