Hi Ross,
Is it possible for resellers to have some input as to how this will work? My
preference would be that OpenSRS provide the reseller with a ping when domains are
near expiration, and that this period would be set by us (similar to the low points
threshold). The reseller would then be responsible to send a reminder notice out to
their clients for renewal. This will give us the freedom to keep our in the
forefront, and the flexibility for different types of account management designs.
Thanks,
Doug Friend.
