I'd imagine the process will smooth over time. This whole transition, and
the way it was handled, introduces a number of procedural pains that we
believe/hope are short term. Once the business of preregistrations has been
put to bed, it should be name after name, business as usual.
I'd suspect that you'll get a sense of when that is by the complete lack of
.ca posts to this list.
Thanks,
Ken
