I'm wondering though...
I thought what Michael was referring to was the following situation:
Someone has domain.prov.ca because they re-registered it, but did not
upgrade, however CIRA still has domain.ca reserved for them. When or will
this domain.ca ever become available for people to register?
I'm assuming what you said in the first part of your reply would mean this
is allowed on January 31st, but I was writing to clarify since this is a bit
different.
Also what about those who have a name that's registered by someone else in
another level or province, for example name.bc.ca is owned by person A and
name.on.ca is owned by person B, so neither can upgrade to name.ca right
now. When or will they be allowed to register name.ca, and will they have
preference over a person who does not even own that name in another level?
Now... (I'm sure this is just what you want to hear)
Will OpenSRS consider setting up a queue for this sort of thing for whenever
these names become available, so we can set up the registration to take
effect once the name is released from being reserved?
By the way, good luck with taking over the CIRA relationship, Charles.
Sounds like you'll have lots of "fun"...
