Weird indeed: When renewing a domain registered at Gandi, you don’t have to be the account owner: “The owner of the transferred domains cannot be modified as per registry policy. The owner will remain the same after the transfer. Owners will not change for renewed products.” And later, “Please be aware that you are about to renew a domain you do not own.”
Just tried it myself.
Are they confusing transfer for renewals? Because the message above all talks about transfers.
I interpreted the message as “Gandi isn’t what they used to be anymore, I’m going to transfer out, you don’t need to tell me this.” It could also be a language barrier by OP.
