The ICANN policy is 60 days after TRANSFER. GoDaddy extended that to include "any change to whois data". ICANN, in fact, issued several advisories to stop this sort of thing.

Interestingly enough, the CIRA (.ca domains) implemented a policy that says quite the opposite. Any domain changes result in a 60 day lock.
