and I beg your indulgence, but what does this sentence from the original
notice mean: all resellers, regardless of submission date, have an EQUAL
chance of being awarded the .info domain. Since only one reseller can
submit a request for any given domain, it's clearly NOT "regardless of
submission date" -- in fact, it's first come, first served, right? I guess
my confusion is that "regardless of submission date" means (to me) that you
can apply later and still perhaps get the domain. But that's not true -- you
won't even be allowed to apply tomorrow if someone else at another reseller
has already done so today, correct?

...thanks for the feedback. As everyone has probably seen from the list -
many of the requirements and rules have...morphed...so to speak. One
example is .biz notifying registrars that successful domain applications are
required for a 2 year period (whereas they had previously indicated only a 1
year period) The above is another example. Once we learned that if a
duplicate request is submitted from a registrar then the registrar will
'lose' its turn in the submission queue we made the decision to only accept
a single application for a particular .info name. Again, this is done to
ensure that we maximize our resellers chances of being awarded the domain
name (realizing that Tucows cannot impact the submissions from other
registrars in the queue) So, in the original message I communicated the
equal chance regardless of submission. However, not long after that it was
changed to reflect the opportunity to maximize sucessful .info domain
selection.
Hope this helps.

So clearly I'm being stupid, then, and I beg your indulgence, but what
does this sentence from the original notice mean:
>> all resellers, regardless of submission date, have

clearly NOT "regardless of submission date" -- in fact, it's first come,
