Could OpenSRS block maxis.net.my, please?

Now it is pretending it is userfriendly.com

See below.

NetSol is actually not paying for the "next year" but rather blocking
customers
of its competitors (registrars like Tucows,etc) from registering those
expiried
names.

I did try to register one NSI expiried name with DotRegistrar but I got
the
error "domain not available", but when I phoned NSI and asked them
whether
I can register that domain, they said yes if I paid USD190 registrant
name
change, but USD70 for 2 years registration fee, which I did and now I
own
that domain.

NetSol will NEVER release expiried domains to its competitor's customers
(which you are), but if you are their customer, yes, you can buy back
the
expiried domain.

No, OpenSRS keeps holding the domain just like Netsol does. In fact, I
let one
of my OpenSRS registered domains expiry because I did not want it, and
Tucows
is still holding it even after 270 days!

Now, how do I get Tucows release my name back into the registry so I can
register it with ENOM?
